The upcoming second season of The Witcher has added seven new cast members, and most of the characters should be familiar to fans.

Netflix has officially announced that Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton, Silent Witness) will play Nenneke, Cassie Clare (Brave New World, The Bisexual, The Irregulars) is on board as Phillippa Eilhart, Liz Carr (Silent Witness, Devs) has been cast as Fenn, Graham McTavish (Outlander, The Hobbit) will portray Dijkstra, Kevin Doyle (Downton Abbey, Happy Valley) will play Ba’lian, Simon Callow (A Room with A View, Four Weddings and a Funeral) is Codringher, and Chris Fulton (Bridgerton, Outlaw King) will take on the role of Rience. 

Eilhart's casting will likely generate the most buzz, as she's arguably the most popular character out of this bunch. In the books/games, she's a powerful leader of the Lodge of Sorceresses and advisor to Redania’s King Vizimir II.

We're still waiting on a trailer, but this updated Season 2 synopsis will give fans some idea of what to expect when the show returns (no premiere date has been set).

"Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside."

Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan, Joey Batey, MyAnna Buring, Tom Canton, Lilly Cooper, Jeremy Crawford, Eamon Farren, Mahesh Jadu, Terence Maynard, Lars Mikkelsen, Mimî M Khayisa, Royce Pierreson, Wilson Mbomio, Anna Shaffer, and Therica Wilson-Read will all reprise their Season 1 roles. 

Previously announced new cast mebers for Season 2 include Yasen Atour as Coen, Agnes Born as Vereena, Paul Bullion as Lambert, Basil Eidenbenz as Eskel, Aisha Fabienne Ross as Lydia, Kristofer Hivju as Nivellen, Mecia Simson as Francesca, and Kim Bodnia as Vesemir

McTavish is not who I expected for Dijkstra but he’s a hell of an actor

Cool. McTavish was pretty damn good on Preacher.

So apparently the author of The Mortal Instruments comes up first if you Google Cassie Clare -- and honestly? Inspired casting. Nothing but support for MY Phillippa Eilhart.
