We havenāt traveled that monster-strewn valley of plenty with Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) since December 2019āwhich feels like 10 years agoābut Netflix has been hard at work keeping The Witcher hype going. Finally, today we have a new look thanks to the Tudum event.
Anime prequel film Nightmare of the Wolf hit the streamer last month, widening the world of the series and introducing a character weāll be seeing a lot more of (in live-action this time) in season two. There has also been plenty of season two images, multipleĀ teasers, and a trailer, the latter of which arrived during Netflixās virtual WitcherCon event this summer, all hinting at whatās ahead for our grunting hero (who has promised heāll grunt less this time around) and his friends. Today, weāve got some actual clips from the season to hook us in even more. Check them out below!
And the next:
In addition, Netflix also forked over the first behind-the-scenes look at The Witcher: Blood Origin, another prequel, though this oneās a live-action series, and itās also set much earlier than Nightmare of the Wolf. According to its official synopsis: āSet in an elven world 1,200 years before the world of The Witcher: Blood Origin will tell a story lost to timeāthe creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal in āconjunction of the spheres,ā when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.ā The cast includes Sophia Brown, Laurence OāFuarain, and many moreāthough weāre a bit biased because our favorite character is already whoever Michelle Yeoh is playing.
Season two of The Witcher, created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, arrives December 17 on Netflix. In addition to Cavill, it stars Freya Allan as Princess Ciri, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg, Joey Batey as Jaskier, and Kim Bodnia as Vesemir. Blood Origin doesnāt have a release date.
