The Witcher made a lot of rounds on the internet recently, from the Henry Cavill exit after season 3 to Yennefer’s more central role in the upcoming seasons, and of course Paul Bullion’s Lambert. As the show goes into an identity crisis after losing its favorite Witcher, creators, and fans will be keeping an eye out for Bullion’s Witcher. And he could not be more delighted for the opportunity.

With shows like Peaky Blinders in his filmography, Paul Bullion is no stranger to larger-than-life Netflix shows. However, the memory of being cast as a Witcher in Andrzej Sapkwoski’s fantasy world remains unparalleled for him.

Bullion recalled back in 2020 how the pandemic had made everybody more grateful for their jobs as an actor. This was especially true for Paul Bullion who even during the lockdown did not ease down his preparation to portray the Witcher alongside the rest of the cast. He wanted to burn the carbs he had been consuming owing to pandemic bread projects.

The Hello Carter actor once talked about enjoying the time spent with co-actors like Freya Allen. In addition to the great relationships everybody shared, one of the most satisfying feelings on set was hearing “That’s a wrap.” As Henry Cavill exits from the show, fans could not be more grateful for having a trustworthy performer like Paul Billion onboard.
