Anya Chalotra’s Yennefer gained quite the traction this season. Season 3 of The Witcher saw the actress take the baton from Henry Cavill and emerge as the central character of the storyline. Not only was her romantic flame with Cavill’s Geralt a pivotal point, but also the mother-daughter kind of relationship between Ciri and her character. Moreover, the actress’ role came as a saving grace after the Man of Steel actor’s exit from the show. 

But the Indian-British actress has more in common with the ex-Witcher than just her British heritage or The Witcher. In exclusive news, the actress is stepping into another one of Cavill’s universes. 

Neither a movie nor a series – then what?

The previous Geralt of Rivia is also known for his role in Enola Holmes. Playing her elder brother, the actor took up the backseat role of Sherlock Holmes. And in an exclusive report by The Hollywood Reporter, the Chalotra entered the Sherlock Holmes universe, but not for the world Cavill starred in. It was reported that The Witcher actress would start in Amazon’s Audible podcast titled, Moriarty: The Silent Order. The second season of the fictional story has taken onboard a fresh set of faces, The Witcher actress being one of them. 

The UK-based actress will play the role of a “young maid with secrets.” Named Agatha, Chalotra’s character naturally appeared in Arthur Conan Doyle’s books too. She will be the housemaid who Sherlock Holmes often indulges in the books, but how her character will play out on the screen is still anticipated.

The first season was a thrilling aftermath of the dramatic near-death experience, the Reichenbach Falls. It is similar to the one fans saw in Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes. The events six months after that portray an organization having connections between the Crown and Britain. In an attempt to defeat this evil organization, Moriarty returns to seek vengeance. 

The Treefort and Audible collaboration aired its first season last year. While season 1, Moriarty, The Devil’s Game won the Banff Rockie Awards for best fiction podcast whilst gaining the no. 1 spot on Audible, the upcoming season 2 is set with high hopes too.
