Allan’s character, Cirilla (Ciri for short), is a Princess of Cintra and an award of Geralt. She has amazing powers. A producer, Lauren Schmidt, said they had over 200 young women from all corners of Europe and saw many talented actresses, but then they saw Freya, who auditioned for another role. Later, Schmidt went to London to personally meet Allan and make sure that she was the one they wanted to see as Ciri.

Fans, especially those from Poland, were grateful to producers that they had chosen a white girl to portray Ciri. For not long before that, there had been some information in the media that producers wanted to invite a girl with dark skin to portray Princess Ciri.

Fans of fantasy saga were dissatisfied with a Hollywood liberal program by accusing it of a mockery of their culture.
First, they [the Western media] will take your culture disrespectfully, and then they will call you a racist if you refuse to support them, angry Twitter users wrote.
A good thing is that producers decided not to remove the Slavic roots of The Witcher and show Slavic stories to the global audience in their entirety. Jodhi May (Game of Thrones and Genius), an Icelandic actor Björn Hlynur Haraldsson (Fortitude), Adam Levy (Knightfall and Snatch), MyAnna Buring (Descent and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1), Lars Mikkelsen (an older sibling of a Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen) and some other actors will star in the TV series. The release of the TV series is set for late 2019.
Private Life of Freya Allan
Currently, Freya Allan is focused on her career. Fans believe that the heart of the young actress is still free, but even if not, she prefers to say nothing about it.
As a teenage actress, Allan makes pretty good money. Despite the unavailability of information about her fees, the most curious ones calculated that all Freya’s projects had to earn her around 500 thousand dollars by the end of The Witcher.
