The season will be largely based on her favorite book of the Witcher saga, The Time of Contempt.
Still, Schmidt Hissrich has already confirmed a number of elements that will be part of season 3. But showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has said the writers’ room finished scripting the third season in December 2021, with no word yet on when principal photography would begin. While there’s no release date for the show yet, the franchise so far has favored December releases, so we may only get it in December 2022. Thankfully, Netflix has already greenlighted The Witcher for a third season (as well as a few spinoffs, including 2022’s The Witcher: Blood Origin, starring Michelle Yeoh). Given the number of people who seek to control or kill her - including, but not limited to, the elves, Nilfgaard’s White Flame, and the council of mages - season 3 leaves them with a lot of ground to cover, and certainly can’t get here fast enough. The new season ends on more than a few serious cliffhangers, with familial connections finally made between Geralt (Henry Cavill), Yen (Anya Charlota), and Ciri (Freya Allan), and the three of them working together to get Ciri’s powers under control. Which means we have already begun the next stage of a Witcher release cycle: eagerly awaiting The Witcher season 3.
After two long years The Witcher season 2 is finally here.
