Season two debuts on Netflix this December, hopefully with just one plotline
Toss a coin to your Witcher-song-singing friends. Netflix released the first official trailer for The Witcher’s second season, which debuts on December 17. No other way to put this: It looks bonkers. It also kinda muddies the suspenseful setup from the end of the first season.
Minor spoilers follow for Netflix’s The Witcher.
First, provided you don’t care about that sort of thing, the trailer:
The Witcher’s first season aired nearly two years ago. If you’ll recall, the final episode wrapped up on somewhat of a cliffhanger: Yennefer (Anya Chalotra), burning an entire countryside to a crisp, then disappearing in a flash, with no indication as to where she went. At the time, some fans speculated that a good chunk of the second season could be dedicated to plotlines in which characters track her down. She’s front and center in the season two trailer, though, so there goes that theory!
Also, way less essential, but at the end of the sixth episode, you may remember Geralt (Henry Cavill) essentially telling Jaskier (Joey Batey) to fuck off for good. He’s back, too. In retrospect, it’s hard to imagine Netflix passing up the lucrative viral marketing opportunity of irresistibly catchy earworms.
