Where You Know The Witcher Season 4's New Cast

The Witcher Is Bringing On An Exciting Group Of Actors

Before ing The Witcher cast, all three stars had a great deal of experience under their belts. For instance, though he has already appeared in TV projects, including Powers and Russian Doll, Copley is best known for movie roles after getting his big break in the 2009 sci-fi hit District 9, which was later nominated for four Oscars. His movie roles include franchise projects such as Maleficent and The A-Team as well as genre-driven originals including Hardcore Henry, Free Fire, Beast, and the action movies Boy Kills World and Monkey Man.

Copley also reunited with District 9 director Neill Blomkamp for his follow-up movies Elysium and Chappie.

The other two incoming stars have a similar wealth of onscreen experience. Purefoy is perhaps best known for playing Mark Anthony in HBO's Rome, but his long resume includes roles on both the big and small screens in titles, including Mansfield Park, Resident Evil, Pennyworth, Sex Education, and The Following. Woodburn has had an equally long career, taking on a variety of roles in projects from the 1990s including Jingle All the Way and Seinfeld before moving on to roles including Splinter in 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Wiggleheim in 2022's Willow.

The show will have to build up steam again after losing Cavill following the The Witcher season 3 ending. Although the lead character being recast could lead to the show being destabilized, it seems that producers are intent on making sure audiences stay invested in the new season. By assembling such a strong cast of newcomers, they may have ensured the success of this plan.
