Netflix has recently announced that The Witcher TV show will be getting a second series, this is before the first season has even aired. We can expect to see season one from 20th December. Based on the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher follows the adventures of Geralt of Riviera (Henry Cavill) and is set in the world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witches, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.
Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich commented: “I am so excited that before viewers dive into season one, we are already able to confirm that we’ll be returning to The Continent again to continue telling the stories of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri, and to showcase more of the amazing work that our cast and crew have delivered.”
