This is her evolution, this is her story, this is her character arc. Of course, Geralt and Yennefer are super important to her but it\u2019s a Ciri journey. And she has to go through the journey alone \u2013 maybe not alone, but disconnected from her parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first season where we can actually see it, we can see her alone. We can see her lost, we can see her trying to find her own identity.\u201d<\/p> <p>He added: \u201cBy the way, this journey is not over, but there is a famous quote that the border between good and evil goes through the heart of every person. And now, it\u2019s maybe time to see how evil Ciri can become, before she will integrate those two parts \u2013 the darkness and the light \u2013 into the whole person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s a pretty important story in the books, it\u2019s pretty important in this book in particular and we really wanted to honour it in this season.\u201d<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6330178308112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p>Season 4 is still a way off but the main cast, including Chalotra and Allan, confirmed they\u2019ve been in contact with Hemsworth and that he\u2019s \u201cin training\u201d for the role.<\/p>\n<p>Joey Batey, who plays Jaskier, explained to <strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong>: \u201cI think he\u2019s just using this time before we shoot to train and to study all the books and throw himself into this.
