Maybe two girls out of the hundreds that we saw could’ve played that role, so we were chuffed when we saw her. Maybe two girls out of the hundreds that we saw could’ve played that role, so we were chuffed when we saw her.’ ‘It was quite a process, I mean, just the hundreds and hundreds of girls that we saw for that role, just trying to find somebody special. So we pulled her in, and we’re still having trouble searching for Ciri, so we thought “shall we just try it?” and she read for it and she was perfect so we booked her for that instead. Freya’s so smart in such a young person’s body. ‘Then we showed her to the team, and everybody kind of fell in love with her. She got cast as another character in episode one, a character called Mirilka. ‘We saw Freya when we were looking for another character. Now you know: Real witchers have feelings.Freya was originally cast as Mirilka in episode one but impressed so much she got Ciri instead (Picture: AP/Netflix) Freya Allen – Ciri And so we wanted to make sure that sensitivity was a core element in their relationship, and that it wasn't too driven by conflict.” “We wanted it to be sensitive, because I believe that real men are very sensitive. “There’s a strong and loving relationship between the two… A dynamic that was genuinely caring and not so simple, not so basic,” Cavill says. Bodnia and Cavill worked hard to create the on-screen bond between surrogate Witcher father and son. This season Kim Bodnia portrays Vesemir, the witcher who raised Geralt from human boyhood into adult Witcher-dom. I tried to lean into that as much as possible when it came to the relationship with Ciri.”Īs fans watch Geralt settle into his role as Ciri’s protector and supernatural mentor, they’ll also see him connect to his own patriarchal figure. “It was important to me that Geralt have a sense of humor while also being tough and intellectual and wise. He’s lived a very hard life, and Ciri is about to face a very hard life, too,” he says. “I wanted him to be warm… But he’s also tough he's not going to be super soft. Cavill knows his character has to serve as a “father figure” to Ciri, or, at least, “an older brother figure.” Geralt’s job is to help Ciri through these overwhelming struggles. In Season 2, Ciri is tasked with understanding her destiny as a girl connected to a terrifying and mysterious prophecy. By the end of Season 1, Ciri - or Princess Cirilla - has grieved the deaths of her entire biological family, seen her city burn to the ground, watched her refugee subjects get slaughtered in their sleep and fled a child-hungry shapeshifter. Ciri’s existence is that surprise, tying Geralt’s and Ciri’s fates together forever. Before Ciri’s birth, Geralt accepted the Law of Surprise from her father, Dunny, for saving his life in repayment, Geralt was owed whatever Dunny found at home. In the Season 1 finale, Geralt finally finds Ciri (Freya Allan), who is his Child of Surprise. “But also a man of action, a wise man, and so his focus is Ciri.” “The loss of Yennefer is a great blow for Geralt, and it's something which he buries deep,” Cavill tells Netflix, referencing the disappearance of Geralt’s mage love interest Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) in Season 1. The actor who plays Geralt, Henry Cavill, told us that things are evolving for the witcher in Season 2, and that Geralt is about to get in touch with his emotions. But Geralt’s solitary and grumpy preferences may be changing. The Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia, on the other hand, much prefers hunting for powerful spirits in a monster-infested bog alone as a way to relax. Some men like to unwind with a couple of brewskis and a football game, or an indulgent pedicure.
