Australian star Jacob Collins-Levy has joined the cast of "The Witcher" prequel "Blood Origin" as Eredin Bréacc Glas.
The actor, whose other credits include "Starz," "The White Princess" and Netflix's "Young Wallander," will play a lead role in the upcoming Netflix show. According to Redanian Intelligence, he has a more substantial part as the leader of the Red Riders compared to Sam Hazeldine, who portrays the same character in "The Witcher" season 2.
Hazeldine will reportedly only have cameo appearances in the installment, but Collins-Levy will likely play the main villain in "Blood Origin" and will have the monicker "Captain" in the series.
