At long last, we know who will be playing sorceress Philippa Eilhart in Netflix's The Witcher series. The show, which is approaching the end of filming for its second season following some pandemic-related disruptions last year, will reportedly include the polymorphing sorceress well-known from the RPG games in the coming series, and she'll be played by actor Cassie Clare.
That's according to Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence, which reports that Philippa Eilhart - advisor to Redania's King Vizimir II and leader of the Lodge of Sorceresses - will be joining Netflix's series in season two. IMDB notes that Clare is from London, UK, and joined the National Youth Theatre, before going on to act in TV shows like Delicious and The Bisexual, as well as films such as Beauty and the Beast and Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again.
There aren't any details, sadly, on what we can expect from Philippa in series two of The Witcher, but given her role in the books by Andrzej Sapkowski and CD Projekt Red's games, we can guess she'll be pretty key to the plot in some way.
