The Big Picture Freya Allan feels like she was destined to play Princess Cirilla of Cintra on Netflix's The Witcher. Through three seasons, the young actress has earned plaudits for her portrayal of one of the most beloved characters from Andrzej Sapkowski's books, even making the case for her to be the lead as the show has run on.
"Well, I Googled it before, and I thought, 'Okay, I look quite like her,'" she said. "I feel like there were characteristics about her that I felt like I would be able to bring, so I was really excited. I went into that audition so prepared, and I came out, and they were just very welcoming and very warm, and good at giving direction.
Freya Allan Knew She Was the Right Choice to Play Ciri Close Fortunately, her journey to The Witcher had a happy ending. Before becoming Ciri, she had been in line to play another smaller role in the series because of the impression she made with her performance. That decision was quickly reversed, however, and her mother gave her the big news that she had another chance. From there, she knew that she was meant to embody the character, even as she still faced competition for the part.
The Witcherrecently entered production on Season 4 and, for the first time, Allan won't be acting opposite Henry Cavill. In a controversial move, Liam Hemsworth will take over for the departed Man of Steel star as Geralt of Rivia, leaving room for a new dynamic between the two characters. They'll start separated, however, as the new episodes will see them facing a war-torn, demon-infested world with their respective groups.
