Based on the novels by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, the first season of The Witcher was one of Netflix’s most-watched tv shows when it released at the end of 2019.
Since then, the streaming service has gone about expanding the fantasy universe with the addition of a second season, a live-action spinoff set 1,200 years before Geralt’s time, along with an upcoming anime called Nightmare of the Wolf.
According to the Verge, filming of season 2 ended in April with the news being announced as part of the first week-long Netflix Geeked event.
More info on the show will be released on July 9th at an event called Witchercon, helmed by both Netflix and developer CD Projekt Red.
