The Witcher season 2 is just around the corner. Although, the production of the sequel was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the filming was also slowed down due to Henry’s minor injury during the set but the Netflix show somehow managed to wrap up filming in April 2021. You’ll be able to watch it on Netflix in December.

In The Witcher Season 1, the story started with its disoriented timeline that jumped between Andrzej Sapkowsk’s stories from the books of Witcher. The series first season was more or less pointed towards Geralt and Ciri as they spent almost the entire season looking for each other to be united finally in the end.

The Witcher Season 2 Plot: What Will It Be About?

We have some bits of information from here and there for The Witchers season 2.

Netflix released the official synopsis for the next season in October 2020. It reads, “Convinced that Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen.”

“While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.”

According to Hissrich, she promised a “more intense” season 2. What could be more thrilling than this? Hopefully, we get to see more of Geralt and Yennefer, Ciri and Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer also including the other kingdoms which we hardly even heard about in season one, and maybe we get to see more of it in season two.

The Witcher boss explained (via Reddit): “The narrative structure was put in place so that we could tell Geralt’s short stories (the foundation of the whole Witcher world, in my opinion), while Ciri and Yennefer could also be a part of the action. Their stories don’t happen simultaneously, so we knew we needed to play with time a bit. This will definitely change in season two, as their stories have begun to converge.”

Hissrich in an interview with Pure Fandom also said: “Without spoilers, I will say that there’s a crop of new monsters, a new cost to magic, and new and unexpected pairings of our favourite characters.”

Updates 24/09/21- The Witcher Season 2 will premiere on streaming on 17th December 2021. But before that tune in to watch Henry Cavill at TUDUM as he will reveal hints on what to expect from the upcoming season.
