According to IMDb, a new spin-off set in The Witcher universe has locked in a 2027 release date, giving the franchise a fresh chapter after the main series concluded with Henry Cavill's controversial exit and Liam Hemsworth's brief tenure as Geralt.
A New Corner of the Continent
The big question hanging over this announcement is what, exactly, this spin-off is. Is it a Ciri-focused continuation — picking up where the main series left off with the young Lion Cub of Cintra finally coming into her own? A prequel diving into the early days of Kaer Morhen and the witcher trials? Something set on an entirely different continent, like Zangvebar or Haakland? Netflix has kept details close to the chest, which means the speculation is wide open — and that's exactly the kind of creative vacuum that fancasting was built to fill. Whoever leads this new story will need to carry the weight of one of fantasy's most beloved franchises, and fans already have opinions.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The Witcher community on myCast has been busy across multiple fan-cast stories, and the data reveals some genuinely fascinating consensus picks — and a few delightful wildcards.
The most-voted Witcher story on the platform, The Witcher, has racked up 36 total votes across 10 roles, and the numbers tell a clear story: Henry Cavill dominates the Geralt conversation with 15 votes, which is honestly a reminder of how much goodwill that casting had before the behind-the-scenes drama unfolded. But for a spin-off that may not feature Geralt at all, the supporting cast picks are where things get interesting. Alexandra Breckenridge leads the vote for Triss with 7 votes, a choice that makes a lot of sense — she has the warmth and complexity the sorceress demands. Freya Allan pulls 3 votes for Ciri, which tracks given how well she inhabited the role in the original series and how naturally a Ciri-led spin-off would follow. Claire Foy earning votes for Fringilla Vigo is the kind of inspired pick that makes you stop and think — yes, actually, that would be remarkable.
Over in the story with 30 roles, fans are swinging for the fences on some brilliant character casting: for Dijkstra is the kind of choice that writes its own press release, and as the scheming Radovid V would be appointment television. Meanwhile, the on myCast takes a more behind-the-camera approach, with fans drafting as director and as composer — a dream creative team that suggests the fandom wants this spin-off treated as prestige cinema, not just streaming content. gets a vote for Geralt in that story, a pick that has genuine merit given his ability to play stoic, weathered heroes with real emotional depth.
