One of the most popular Netflix series, The Witcher, will return on Friday 17 December, two years after it debuted on the streaming platform. The covid-19 pandemic and a leg injury suffered by the show’s star Henry Cavill delayed the release of the second instalment of the monster hunting series.

Netflix will drop all eight episodes of Season 2 at the witching hour on the West Coast giving fans the weekend to binge watch if they choose. The second season will pick up where the Season 1 left off continuing the story based on Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski's short stories and novels.

Season 2 of The Witcher will be more linear

According to showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, season 2 will follow a more linear timeline than the first season which jumped around in time causing some confusion for viewers. The first two books in the Witcher saga were the basis for Season 1, and from the title of Episode 1 in Season 2 it appears viewers will be given some of the back story before moving forward. Titles for seven of the eight episodes were made public at WitchCon in July, but the finale is veiled in secrecy.

List of Season 2 Witcher episodes

  1. A Grain of Truth
  2. Kaer Morhen
  3. What is Lost
  4. Redanian Intelligence
  5. Turn Your Back
  6. Dear Friend
  7. Voleth Meir
  8. TBA

Fans favorite characters will be returning to the screen

Season 2 will continue the stories of the fantasy series main characters Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), Jaskier the bard (Joey Batey), Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) and Ciri, the Lion Cub of Cintra (Freya Allan). New characters will also be making an appearance including Geralt’s witcher brethren Coen, Lambert, Eskel, and the oldest and wisest witcher Vesemir (Kim Bodnia), who was also Geralt’s mentor. Netflix released a spin-off animated series based on Vesemir called The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf in August.
