#The Wheel Of Time And The Witcher Images Are All About Wooing Game Of Thrones Fans

In “The Witcher,” Cavill returns as the sword-wielding Geralt, as you can see above. “The Witcher” is also based on a series of six novels by Andrzej Sapkowski. Since we probably can’t expect to see George R.R. Martin wrap up his “Song of Fire and Ice” book series anytime soon, you could always check out these novels if you’re strapped for fantasy reading. Six books seems a little more manageable than fifteen. (I say that as someone who only has time for audiobooks recently).

We saw a trailer for “The Witcher” season 2 back in July, and it made it look like the lynchpin of this season will be the relationship between Geralt and his surrogate daughter, the so-called Child of Surprise, Ciri (Freya Allan). With their platinum hair, they could both pass for Targaryens.

Cavill had this to say about how watching over Ciri affects Geralt:

“While he hasn’t necessarily been someone who craved children, he does take quite naturally to being a protector. What I’m trying to do is bring [out] more of that intellectual, philosophical, wise Geralt. But that doesn’t preclude classic, grumpy Geralt — he’s still in there.”

“The Wheel of Time” premieres on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, November 19, 2021. “The Witcher” season 2 hits Netflix four weeks later, on Friday, December 17, 2021.
