Netflix has cast another main character in the upcoming original Witcher series and this time its everyone’s favorite redhead – Triss Merigold.
Triss will be played by Anna Chaffer who formerly had a small role in the Harry Potter franchise. This is huge news as Triss is a big character in the Witcher universe, not only is she one of Geralt’s love interests, but she is also a character that — in the games at least — always moved the story along with new information, quests, or story points.
The news comes from the Netflix Polska Twitter account where they announced not only the casting of Triss Merigold but a slew of other characters as well. Not many, if any, are known characters in the universe we’ve come to grow and love, but regardless it is cool to see more castings for the series.
