Netflix Geeked Week shares first teaser for The Witcher season 2
The streamer has yet to announce a release date for the second season
TV News The Witcher
This week, Netflix is taking a break from catering to the jocks and dedicating a handful of days to an under-appreciated part of the internet community: the geeks. For its Geeked Week, Netflix is making announcements and sharing new footage, and today—the last day—that included a short but sweet teaser featuring the character Ciri.
The first season of the show, which involved a convoluted mess of timelines (sort of like Dunkirk, but stretched across a whole TV season), ended with Henry Cavill’s monster-hunter Geralt finally getting reunited with his destined ward Ciri (Freya Allan), setting the two of them down a path toward many happy years hunting monsters together where they’re never pursued by an empire of black cloak-wearing creeps and they never go inside any magical towers… but enough spoilers for the books, this is about the Witcher TV show. In addition to those aforementioned stars (plus Anya Chalotra’s sorceress Yennefer and Joey Batey’s lovable bard Dandelion Jaskier), season two is adding some more of Geralt’s witcher buddies—one of whom had to be recast due to COVID-related scheduling delays. Unfortunately, the streamer still has yet to announce a release date for the new episodes.
In addition to a second season of The Witcher, Netflix is also working on Blood Origin, a prequel series set 1,200 years before the events of the show when a mysterious event merges the worlds of monsters, men, and elves. It will star Jodie Turner-Smith as an accomplished warrior/aspiring musician name Éile.

Wind’s howling.
Hmmm, medallion’s humming.
Hrm.
…fuck.
Looks like rain.
So we’re still pretending this show is at all hard to follow if you’re not half-paying attention to your emails, then?
Jaskier’s new songs are produced by — you guessed it — Jack Antonoff.
That’s not who I guessed…
Frank Stallone?
Of course
Toss a Coin to your Bleachers.(Sounds fun.)
That’s it? That wasn’t even teaser length.
“Oh, hai Mark.”
I quite enjoyed season 1. More than I thought I would. The special effects are a little meh, but it’s fun enough. The game was a blast. I have very fond memories of banging Yennefer on the back of that horse. lol. It’s a horny game and yet you can also lose yourself in Gwent, which is very satisfying once you learn how to play it—and a real pain in the ass if you missed good cards that you seemingly cannot go back and get.I kinda want to play Witcher 3 again now…
I forgot to add WTF is going on with the comments sections? There are now entire sections where I cannot reply to literally anything. Others where I can only do gray comments. Others where I can post just fine out of the grays. Seriously, does anyone think this system is good? I just don’t get it. If you can reply to one blog, why not them all? If you’re “verified” or whatever on one or two or three of the blogs then why not them all?I swear to god there are a bunch of writers on here who just block and dismiss anyone who disagrees with them. It’s nuts.This place sucks, lol. Where do ya’ll go for an alternative to this nonsense system?
I just hope the second season opens with a long recap because I cannot for the life of me remember much about what happened in the first season.
