The season of The Witcher
The Witcher, is a fantasy series of novels and short stories written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The series centers around the eponymous "witcher", Geralt of Rivia. In Sapkowski's works, "witchers" are beast hunters who develop supernatural abilities at a young ag…
The streamer has revealed that it will be following the success of Nightmare of the Wolf with another animated movie set in the world of The Witcher.
“The Witcher is about family. It’s about Geralt raising Ciri, it’s about Yennifer raising Ciri,” DeMayo says referring to the arc of the next Witcher season. “ [This anime] is a question of who raised Geralt?”
Keeping all of this in mind, along with the fact that The Witcher 's first season was released in December 2019, it's possible fans might see the anime movie as early as the very end of 2020 or the start of 2021 — the halfway point between the first and second seasons of the series. What's the plot of Netflix's Witcher anime film?
The Witcher is one of Netflix 's most popular shows, so it's no surprise that the show and its spin-offs so far are reportedly just the beginning of the entertainment world tapping into Witcher universe. According to a new rumor, there's a lot more coming, including a prequel starring Lambert, Coen, and Eskel.
During Netflix's Tudum event, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich announced that a second The Witcher anime film is in the works. The first film looked into the past of Geralt's mentor Vesemir and was called The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.
Netflix announces The Witcher season 3, new Witcher anime movie, and a family-orientated series. The season of The Witcher is here. Netflix has announced that the main series has been renewed for another season, that another anime movie is coming, and that a brand new series aimed at children and families is incoming.
The Witcher season 2 release date: December 17, 2021 The Witcher Season 2 premieres December 17! The Witcher season 2 will be released on December 17, 2021. For those who aren't aware, too, it'll comprise eight episodes, much like its predecessor did.
The Witcher: Blood Origin is a live-action miniseries that is expected to premiere in 2022. Fans will likely see that before The Witcher Season 3, but so far Netflix has not announced a release date. The streamer has not officially confirmed a renewal for The Witcher Season 4 yet, either.
Henry Cavill is willing to work on The Witcher for seven seasons. Fear not: Henry Cavill isn't going anywhere.
The Witcher spoilers follow. The good news then is that before season two even arrived, Netflix already confirmed that season three is officially on its way as well.
By the time Geralt appears in the first episode of the Netflix series The Witcher, he is already 71, though he is played by 36-year-old Henry Cavill. Aside from his catlike eyes, white hair and world-weary attitude, Geralt doesn't really show his age. By the start of the second season, Geralt is 104 and Vesemir is 169.

Although CD Projekt Red has confirmed that Geralt's story ended with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the studio has also suggested that it will be working on future games in The Witcher's universe using a new protagonist.
By all appearances, this means that at the end of Season 2, Episode 8, there are (including Geralt and Vesmir) no more than five Witchers remaining at Kaer Morhen.

DeMayo, who penned the third episode of The Witcher flagship series, “Betrayer Moon,” says he’s fortunate to fill in the blanks of Witcher history through Nightmare of the Wolf since Sapkowski’s source material left those areas untouched: from Vesemir’s dirt-poor adolescence to the Witcher-populated Kaer Morhen eons before a Witcher like Geralt was a rarity of his kind.
The Witcher: The Nightmare of the Wolf is out now on Netflix.
Is Nightmare of the Wolf the spark of more The Witcher animated projects on Netflix? While the film is self-contained, a few loose ends occur to not question this . Netflix has invested in streaming anime spinoffs or adaptation of franchises like Pacific Rim and Dota. Could these open-ended threads factor into the live-action season two or other parts of the franchise?

TUDUM also brought a behind-the-scenes look at The Witcher: Blood Origin, the upcoming live-action prequel to The Witcher, as well as clips and a new trailer for The Witcher season 2.
So, The Witcher as a kids show is brow-raising to say the least.
The world of The Witcher keeps growing at an alarming rate. The latest? Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich announced during Netflix's TUDUM event on Saturday that the main show, starring Henry Cavill, has already been renewed for a season 3 months before season 2 has even premiered, and there are two more Witcher -related projects coming up.
With the release of a more detailed plot description, fans finally know who the film's title character will be, and it's one fans haven't seen yet on the Netflix series.
Fans already have a release date for The Witcher season 2, with the next set of Hissrich-helmed episodes set to debut sometime in 2021. But it's more than a year away (from the time of this writing, at least) and for those keen to sink their swords back into the Henry Cavill-led high-fantasy, the wait might be too long to bear.
This means it will be Vesemir facing the threat Netflix teased, a danger that existed long before Geralt entered the continental scene.
The character takes up residence and teaches at the School of the Wolf, the witcher training academy inside the castle Kaer Morhen. Fanatical villagers who feared and distrusted witchers breached the keep and attacked the castle, killing most of the teachers and witchers-in-training who resided there many years earlier.
In a later report, io9 confirmed that Netflix is developing Nightmare of the Wolf, further revealing that it would an anime standalone ...
No voice-casting news has broke as of January 2020, and there's still almost nothing reported about any other characters that may appear in Nightmare of the Wolf.
Freya Allen's character Ciri, however, is almost certainly out due to where the prequel sits in The Witcher's greater timeline.
Lauren Schmidt Hissrich teases what's to come in 'The Witcher' universe.
In a franchise as massive as The Witcher, it is not a bad idea to expand its brand to as wide an audience as possible, since the main series is rooted in such mature themes. Whether it is the popular video game series or the main Netflix show, further expansion on the lore has only strengthened the universe thus far.
