Henry Cavill & Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ Details Revealed In Casting Call

New details on Netflix and Henry Cavill’s The Witcher series have been revealed in a Hungarian casting call.

Production on Netflix’s adaption of The Witcher is currently underway in Hungary and a casting call from Extras Casting Agency for “a fantasy series” reveals details on some of the inhabitants of the Continent. Reddit user gravemaster7 has provided translations of the casting calls that reveal the creative team is searching for people to play little people, individuals with missing limbs, and blacksmiths in the Henry Cavill series:

November 11: “We’re looking for a fantasy series of people talking English. Casting now end of November / early December. Filming 2019 January or February.”

January 8: “By February 18th, we’re looking for men’s little men for Monday, Fantasy Series. Only with all day youuu! “

January 21: “By February 8th, we’re looking for little people for a fantasy series on Friday! The makeup and clothing branch with beards and costumes makes you look like gimli from the take, or like thorin from the hobbit! All day busy!”

They also have been looking for men who are missing limbs on December 11: “Hey, guys. In The Fantasy Series we have already mentioned, we are looking for a limb-deficient, 20-35-year Filming date: 2018.12.14. (night filming)”

Interestingly, night shoots and the date align with the photo Lauren shared on that day from what appeared to be a castle of some sorts. It must have been the Cintra massacre.

And lastly blacksmiths and people who can make leather ornaments: “Blacksmiths, Leather Ornaments! We’re looking for a fantasy series for men with blacksmith and leather ornaments! Set Date: 2018.12.17.”

Based on the fantasy series of novels and short stories by Andrzej Sapkowski, Netflix’s The Witcher will follow the monster slayer for hire named Geralt of Rivia. Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich will also serve as an executive producer on the series while Alik Sakharov, Alex Garcia Lopez and Charlotte Brändström are on board as directors for the eight-episode first season.

The Witcher stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Freya Allan as Ciri, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe, Bjorn Hlynur Haraldsson as Eist, Adam Levy as Mousesack, MyAnna Buring as Aretuza, and Millie Brady as Princess Renfri, with Mimi Ndiweni and Therica Wilson-Read as novice sorcerers.

The Witcher will be available on Netflix at an undetermined time.
