Netflix's The Witcher: Blood Origin has added another lead actor. Laurence O'Fuarain, who appeared on Game of Thrones and Vikings, will play the central character Fjall. He is a troubled man who is seeking redemption. His official character description says:

　　"Born into a clan of warriors sworn to protect a King, Fjall carries a deep scar within, the death of a loved one who fell in battle trying to save him. A scar that won't let him settle, or make peace with himself or the world around him. In his quest for redemption, Fjall will find himself fighting beside the most unlikely of allies as he carves a path of vengeance across a continent in turmoil."
