THE WITCHER renewed for second season at Netflix

The Witcher has been renewed for a second season at Netflix, before the first season even airs.

The first season filmed in late 2018 and early 2019 and will be released on the streaming service on 20 December. A second season renewal was considered likely - Netflix usually gives shows two seasons to find their feet - but it's still a good sign of confidence by Netflix in the project.

Season 2 of The Witcher will shoot next year for likely release in early 2021. Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan will return as Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri respectively. It will again consist of eight episodes.
