Getting Cast as Ciri in Netflix Show The Witcher Freya Allan will appear as Ciri in The Witcher. Source: io9 The Witcher is one of the highly anticipated series, coming to the small screen this fall, from the biggest streaming company in the world, Netflix. Based on the beloved book series by Andrzej Sapkowski, Ciri is one of the leading characters in the book series and also the subsequent sequel books about the continuation of the story presented in the novels. Netflix and The Witcher were put through the wringer when it comes to the production of the series. First, the hiring of Henry Cavill was contentious, then the outrage reached the boiling point when a brown actress, Anya Chalotra, was hired to play the character of Yennefer. There was a leaked casting call which showed the producers were looking to sign a black, Asian or minority ethnic actress for the role; this caused an even large outrage which subsided a little when Freya was hired to play the character.
