Why Does Ciri Look Different in The Witcher Season 2?

The Witcher Season 2 is finally here, and it is literally the most amazing thing
that has happened this year. The characters that we fell in love with 2 years
ago are finally back and are looking as beautiful as ever. But there is one
thing that we can’t help but notice about one character in the Netflix series;
Ciri looks a little different in season 2 of The Witcher.

While Henry Cavill and Anya Chalotra look almost the same as the previous
season, fans noticed substantial changes in the appearance of Ciri in season 2.
But why did it happen?


IS CIRI THE SAME ACTRESS IN THE WITCHER SEASON 2?

The first answer that may come to anyone’s mind would be that maybe they recast
the actress. Is it the case with Princess Cirilla of Cintra? The answer is no.
Ever since season 1 of The Witcher, Freya Allan

has essayed the role of the swallow. She will play the role for a long time
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-is-ciri-the-same-actress-in-season-2-of-the-wither-did-they-change-her/],
as it has been really amazing to see her performance as the Lion Cub of Cintra.
It almost feels as if Freya was born to play this role, just like Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-henry-cavill-tells-the-similarities-between-him-and-geralt-in-the-witcher/]
was born to play the role of Ciri’s father figure, Geralt of Rivia.


WHY DOES CIRILLA LOOK DIFFERENT IN SEASON 2?

There is no denying the fact that Ciri looks different in Season 2 of The
Witcher. One simple reason for this dissimilarity in Ciri’s physical appearance
in season 2 is COVID.

The first shoots for the series were scheduled for February 2020. At that time,
Freya was an 18-year-old kid. However, due to the global pandemic, the shoot
went on till March 2021. By that time, Freya was just 5 months away from her
20th birthday. Hence, the changes you see in her appearance are nothing but the
natural growth and changes that a human body goes through.

Allan is not the first actress/actor to go through such a difficulty, and
neither will she be the last. Netflix itself is not alien to this problem; as we
have witnessed the cast of Stranger Things age dramatically between seasons.


WHAT IS UP WITH CIRI AND HER EYEBROWS?

The one striking change that everyone watching The Witcher Season 2 notices is
Ciri’s new eyebrows. While for the entire first season we saw Freya Allan
donning bleached eyebrows, the new season marks the end of those eyebrows. So
how exactly this change of color came through? Allan revealed the entire story
while talking to Collider
[https://collider.com/the-witcher-freya-allan-interview-ciri-eyebrows/]. She
said, “I was the one who said, ‘I’m so sorry, but if we are’ — which hopefully
we will — ‘get to do many more seasons, I am not going to have any eyebrows left
if they are bleached every day of The Witcher. They won’t be there anymore. And
also it requires you spending however many months walking around in the streets
looking like you are off Mars.”

She continued, “genuinely had people stop me when I had the bleached eyebrows
being like, ‘Where are you from,’ and they were so curious because I literally
looked like a little alien wondering around. It was my choice. I said, ‘I think
we’re done with the bleached eyebrows. I think that was a bad idea.’ So yeah,
ditched the eyebrows. I mean, just got my own usual eyebrows back!”

However, The Witcher Season 2 is so captivating, you will look past the changes
in the appearance of Ciri and be fully engrossed in the story.
