As the production team is gearing up to start filming Season 2 of Netflix’s The Witcher this month, we have our first new cast member of the second season who will join Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan.

Deadline reveals that Carmel Laniado, 15, will play Violet in the second season of The Witcher. Laniado has appeared in Dolittle starring Robert Downey Jr. and FX’s A Christmas Carol.

According to Deadline, Violet will appear in at least three episodes of the new season. She is described as “a young girl whose playful and whimsical demeanour is a front for a smarter and more sadistic character“.

According to what we’ve heard ourselves, “Violet” is not a codename for a character that appears in the books, she is an original character created by Lauren Hissrich and her team.

The Witcher Season 2 enters production on February 17 and wraps in August for a 2021 release.
