Netflix has begun the production for season three of the supernatural series The Witcher, according to Deadline. A few new looks of the characters and the set were also released.
The Polish-American supernatural series centers on the stories of the three characters, Geralt of Rivia, Crown Princess Ciri of Cintra, and the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg at different points in time. The three are seen in the set photo. Their storylines eventually merge into a single timeline at the end of the first season. In the vast world of The Continent, every creature has to overcome challenges and dangers to survive.
Season three will continue the story for the three main characters. To protect his newly-reunited family, Geralt takes Ciri into hiding to keep her from those who want to capture her. Meanwhile, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers. However, they uncover political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. Many crises await them.
Henry Cavill plays Geralt of Rivia. Cavill is known for his performances in both films and TV series such as The Tudors, Enola Holmes, and Justice League. Ciri is played by English actor Freya Allen. Allen is also known for her work in the AMC series Into The Badlands. Other main cast members include Anya Chalotra (Wanderlust), Eamon Farren (Twin Peaks), Joey Batey (Knightfall), and more.
Lauren Schmidt Hissrich (The Umbrella Academy) serves as showrunner and executive producer. Both season one and season two have eight episodes.
The upcoming season was renewed last year. The premiere date for Season 3 is still unknown.
