The Witcher Showrunner Teases That Season 2 Will Closely Follow One Of The Books
By Helen A. Lee/Oct. 29, 2021 4:03 pm EST
The highly-anticipated second season of "The Witcher" is due out before the end of the year (via TVLine), and Netflix is rolling out promotional material to get people psyched for what's coming. It's working: The new trailer debuted today, and fans are commenting en masse about the show's better production values, frenetic action, bountiful shirtless Cavill scenes (they hope), and new magical creatures.
Although most people are still looking forward to Season 2, the show's writers and production staff are already turning their efforts to Season 3, which was greenlit in September even though the second set of episodes hadn't yet been released (via Deadline). While Season 1 adapted parts of Andrzej Sapkowski's short story collections "The Last Wish" and "Sword of Destiny," Season 2 is expected to cover events in the short story "A Grain of Truth." It will also incorporate the first actual novel in "The Witcher" saga, "Blood of Elves," and delve into the second book, "Time of Contempt," as well (via TheGamer).
Now, in a new interview, "The Witcher" showrunner Lauren Hissrich has spoken out about what fans can expect in Season 3.
