In Season 3, Episode 7 of “The Witcher,” Ciri (Freya Allan) overcomes danger with the help of a unicorn, and their bond was mirrored by Allan and the horse actor in real life.
Assistant director Harry Boyd coached the two through their scenes together, but Allan felt her priority was forging a deep connection with the unicorn, whose name is Little Horse.
When Little Horse is gravely injured by a bug monster, Ciri has to decide to either harness dangerous fire magic to heal this gentle advisor, or leave him to waste in the heat.
The two shared a tender moment on screen. Allan said, “I laid out in the desert with it and literally spooned the bloody horse [...] It was amazing and it was beautiful.”
