Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of The Witcher starring Henry Cavill will be hitting the streaming giant this December.
And today we have word via THR that the series has been renewed for a second season before the first even debuts. Nice!
Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich says: “I’m so thrilled that before fans have even seen our first season, we are able to confirm that we’ll be returning to The Continent again to continue telling the stories of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri.”
Henry Cavill (Man of Steel), Anya Chalotra (Wanderlust), and Freya Allan (The Third Day) are all set to reprise their roles in season two. The eight-episode second season begins production early next year in London for a premiere in fall 2021.
The Witcher follows the story of Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, who struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.
It stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Freya Allan as Princess Ciri, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg,, Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson as King Eist Tuirseach, Adam Levy as Mousesack, MyAnna Buring as Tissaia de Vries, Mimi Ndiweni as Fringilla Vigo, Therica Wilson-Read as Sabrina Glevissig, and Emma Appleton as Princess Renfri.
The first season premieres on Netflix on December 20, 2019.
