Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan, who portray Yennefer and Ciri, respectively, spoke to reporters about how drastically different the two ladies will be in the next chapter. Especially when compared to the seemingly unchanging main character, Geralt of Rivia.
Ciri, the exiled princess of Cintra, has been more visibly altered in The Witcher season 2 teaser as she begins to fulfil her destiny with Geralt. This was only hinted at earlier, and Allan has masterfully adapted to her new position. “Part of Ciri and Geralt’s journey this season also entails training to be a Witcher,” Hissrich says, applauding Allan’s portrayal.
“Before we started filming Season 2, Freya would email me videos of herself learning to swordfight. And the stunt team was blown away because she’s such a natural.”
