The Witcher Season 2 Release Date

(Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)

Netflix’s The Witcher debuted in 2019 and became a massive hit. The medieval fantasy series, which stars Henry Cavill as a Witcher, a demon-hunting magic user, grew popular enough to spawn a spin-off anime movie and a prequel series, plus it clinched its own season renewal. Here’s everything we know about season 2 of The Witcher so far.

The Witcher Season 2 Release Date and Where You Can Watch It

While there were some concerns about The Witcher season 2 releasing in 2021 after filming was halted due to positive coronavirus tests, the second season is set to debut on Netflix on December 17, 2021. All eight episodes will be available to stream worldwide on Netflix that day, should you want to binge the whole thing.

What is The Witcher?

The Witcher is based upon a series of novels by Polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski. The books and short stories focus on the eponymous witcher, Geralt of Rivia (Cavill). Witchers are magic users who hunt beasts and monsters in a world overrun with wild magic. In the novels and series, Geralt must confront his destiny and train the young princess Ciri (Freya Allan) to become a powerful witcher herself. The books have a strong cult following and served as the source material for three popular video games from CD Projekt Red.

Season 2 of The Witcher looks like it will follow the first novel in the series, Blood of Elves. After rescuing Ciri, Geralt takes her to Kaer Morhen, the castle keep where witchers from his school of training are taught. It’s a kind of homecoming for him, but he must also keep Ciri safe and train her for dangers to come. Meanwhile, he will reunite with his own father figure, Vesemir (Kim Bodnia), ask for the aid of powerful healer Triss (Anna Shaffer), and deal with the repercussions of his split from the sorceress Yennifer (Anya Chalotra).
