Maybe you're not like me and still are excited for The Witcher's next two Henry Cavill-less seasons, but season three broke me despite the positive reviews, and it wasn't because it was the former Superman's last rodeo. Anyhow, Netflix's flagship fantasy series has added three big names to its season four cast.

Via Variety, the roster of actors has been expanded with Sharlto Copley (District 9), James Purefoy (Rome), and Danny Woodburn (Seinfeld). After Liam Hemsworth taking over Cavill's role as Geralt of Rivia and the following heated conversation online, it seems that Netflix isn't sparing any expenses when it comes to the new supporting parts.

Copley is set to play the infamous bounty hunter Leo Bonhart from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels, while Purefoy will play Skellen, "a high-ranking spy and court advisor to Emhyr." Last but not least, Woodburn is Zoltan, "a fan favorite dwarf character from the novels and Witcher video games." They're joining Hemsworth, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan, Joey Batey, and Laurence Fishburne. The latter will play Regis, a name that everyone who played the third Witcher game's Blood and Wine DLC remembers.
