The Witcher starring Henry Cavill hit Netflix back on December 20th. And during a recent interview, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said season 2 will be “much more focused”.
Specifically, Hissrich told Games Radar: “There’s a stronger drive in the story, because all of the relationships that we’ve been setting up in season one, actually start to come into fruition in season two. Characters start meeting and interacting more. That goes well sometimes. It doesn’t go well sometimes. But it’s kind of like, all of those building blocks that we set up for the world, finally, start to come together into something a little more concrete.”
