Everything to know about Francesca Findabair actress Mecia Simson from The Witcher season 3

Francesca Findabair is essential in both The Witcher novels and the show. Actress Mecia Simson brings the elven sorceress to life in Netflix’s The Witcher. Her on-screen counterpart has quite a different storyline than her book counterpart, but Mecia was an excellent choice to portray Francesca.

Introduced in the show’s second season, we met Francesca while she was trying to lead the elves to the fabled Dol Blathanna, hoping they could find a kingdom for the elves to live in peace. When we first met her, she’d taken Fringilla and Yennefer hostage, but later Fringilla and Francesca become allies, which we see more of in the show’s third season.
