After a two-year delay, Netflix finally released the second season of “The Witcher” (review) earlier this month and earned itself the number one spot on our “Top 10 Horror Shows of 2021” list. Thankfully Netflix has already renewed the show for its third season. Here’s everything we know so far. Warning: Possible Spoilers Ahead. Season two ended with several cliffhangers including that many factions are out to either take or kill Geralt’s (Henry Cavill) adopted daughter Ciri (Freya Allen) who is not only the most powerful being in the world, she’s also a princess. This season the familiar bonds between Geralt and Ciri are tested and she begins to learn how to use her powers. Geralt also discovers that Yennifer (Anya Charlota) survived the battle from season one, only for her to betray him by stealing Ciri with the intention of trading her a witch to get her own powers back. It’s a fairly extreme set of circumstances to come

This story will pick it up many, many years after the original story. He’s been in hiding for a long, long time, trying to be a good person. “These people arriving in this town are going to awaken the giant.” David Blue Garcia (Tejano) directed the movie for Legendary from the script penned by Chris Thomas Devlin.
