The two year wait is almost over. After many delays due to the pandemic, Netflix announced that beloved fantasy drama The Witcher return for its second season on December 17. Henry Cavill will return with his luscious silver locks to fight more monsters.
Henry Cavill stars in The Witcher as Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter who struggles to find his place in a world where people often turn out to be more wicked than beasts. The first season follows Geralt as destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress named Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and a young princess named Cirilla (Allan). The three navigate the increasingly volatile Continent and their journeys are shown on-screen across multiple timelines. The Witcher is based on the novel series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.
The season 2 logline reads:
Convinced 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.
Netflix is currently developing a Witcher spin-off series titled The Witcher: Blood Origin. The series starts 1200 years before the events of season one, and builds up to the “Conjunction of the Spheres,” a pivotal event that merges the worlds of elves, monsters, and men. Blood Origin stars Sophia Brown, Laurence O’Fuarain, and Michelle Yeoh. Brown will take over the role of Éile from Jodie Turner-Smith, who had to exit the series due to scheduling conflicts. Éile is “an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess, who leaves her clan and position as Queen’s guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician.”

Hopefully they include a note with the advance review copies: “Watch every episode. That’s why we’re giving them to you. I can’t believe I have to say that either, but here we are.”
Does Anya Chalotra have a small head, a super long neck, or both?
I noticed that too, and the more I tried to figure it out the more that all three looked weirdly-necked.
I enjoyed the first season well enough, but I don’t know that I care enough to watch a spin-off. Oh who am I kidding? I’ve got little else to do with what’s left of my life.
Sounds like a good marketing slogan- Netflix: for those of you with little else to do
Netflix and (await the impending) chill (of the grave).
The first season was often fairly awful but there was just enough of a glint and a gleam of it turning into something fun so I’m in for this season in case they figured it all out
The first season kind of felt like Game of Thrones as written by someone who would occasionally overhear their co-workers talking about Game of Thrones in the office kitchen. Cavill was basically the only actor worth a damn.But, yeah, I’ll probably watch the second season.
Cavill isn’t really that great. He’s attractive and fine at it, but just fine. Weirdly small hands.
I hope they kill the bard.
There’s little chance they do as he’s in a lot of the story, but they might do the unexpected. I personally had no issue with his character, I hope to see more of him.
No chance. He turns up everywhere, like a bad penny.
hennneeeeefurrr lopezzzz?
Really looking forward to this. I know AVC loves to brag about how they got confused by the timelines, but if this show clicked with you – oh boy did it click. It captured perfectly the feeling of playing a 90s PC RPG how you imagined it in your head. I didn’t even know that was translatable into a visual medium.
