Video game players will know that the Wild Hunt is the final enemy and subtitle of The Witcher 3, and readers of the novels will recognize them from Siri's pursuit beginning in the fourth novel, A Time of Contempt. Perhaps their roles in the series will be different, and this could even be a brief cameo, setting them up to be the antagonists later.

Some of the additional cast members have already been confirmed, including Philippa Eilhardt, Nenneke, and the actor playing Dijkstra.
