New Photos From THE WITCHER Season 2 Features Anya Chalotra as Yennefer
Netflix has released a couple more first-look photos from the upcoming second season of The Witcher. These photos feature Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, and they tease the fate of the character following the Season 1 finale where she was last seen risking her life to burn the Nilfgaardian army. A recently released synopsis reads:
"Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside."

They join returning cast members Henry Cavill, who leads the cast of The Witcher saga in the role of Geralt of Rivia; Freya Allan as Ciri; and Joey Batey as the bard Jaskier, who sings the signature ballad “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” from the series.

Based on the best-selling fantasy series, The Witcher follows Geralt of Rivia, “a solitary monster hunter who struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than the beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.”
Season 2 will be directed by Stephen Surjik (Umbrella Academy) who will direct 201 and 202; Sarah O’Gorman (Cursed) for episodes 203 and 204; Ed Bazalgette (The Last Kingdom) for episodes 205 and 208; and Geeta Patel (Meet The Patels) for episodes 206 and 207.
There are also reports that Netflix has locked in Season 3 of the series, and they are looking at producing spinoff shows.
