As production officially begins for the upcoming second season of The Witcher, Netflix has announced that Games of Thrones alum Kristofer Hivju has been tapped for the role of Nivellen in the next installment of the Henry Cavill-led fantasy series adaptation.
Schmidt Hissrich serves as executive producer and showrunner for The Witcher.
In the books, Nivellen was a cursed man, who was turned into a human beast by a young priestess.
This will mark the latest TV project for Hivju since portraying the fan-favorite wildling Tormund Giantsbane in HBO’s award-winning series Game of Thrones which had aired its eighth and final season last May.
