AceShowbiz - Netflix has finally unleashed the official trailer for season 2 of "The Witcher". In addition to Henry Cavill, the sophomore season of the beloved fantasy drama will see the return of other stars, including Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra, Joey Batey and Royce Pierreson.
The trailer opens with Henry's Geralt walking through a lake with a monster flying over him. "Something has changed, Geralt. The world's acting strange these days," Kristofer Hivju's boar-man named Nivellen narrates the beginning of the trailer.
"The North and South [are] at war. Monsters roaming when they should be hibernating. Maybe it's the end of days," Nivellen adds. However, Geralt isn't really convinced as he responds, "I've lived through three supposed 'end of days.' It's all horses**t."
Due to coronavirus pandemic that delayed production, the sophomore season of the action-packed series arrives two years after the first season. However, fans of the show shall be glad as Netflix has already renewed it for a third season.
Recently, Henry discussed how the relationship between his own character and Ciri will develop in the second season. "For me, it was important that Geralt let go of his reluctance about his Child of Surprise this season. He has decided to take this particular path, so he will do it to the best of his ability," Henry told Sci-Fi & Fantasy collector's magazine.
Freya, who portrays Ciri, adds, "When she sees him, it's just that sense of relief-here, potentially is her future-and I think there's an idea of 'hopefully, I've found my protector,' someone who could potentially guide her in being able to defend herself in that world."
Eight-part season 2 of "The Witcher", which is based of Andrzej Sapkowski's "Witcher" books, will arrive on Netflix on December 17. Season 2 will also feature some new faces, including "Bridgerton" star Adjoa Andoh and "Killing Eve" star Kim Bodnia.
