Season two of The Witcher picks up with the North and South at war, the world’s in a strange state, monsters aren’t hibernating, and the possibility’s raised it’s “the end of days.” Geralt of Rivia, however, disagrees. “I’ve lived through three supposed ‘end of days,'” says Geralt. “It’s all horsesh*t.”
The official trailer premiered during the Lucca Comics & Games Convention in Italy before its release online. The new trailer was accompanied by the unveiling of a new season two poster and additional images.

During the July 2021 WitcherCon, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich teased what’s in store for the new season. “There are so many characters that we’re introducing in Season 2,” said Schmidt Hissrich. “We are getting to see Dijkstra for the first time and sort of the Redanian Kingdoms. I know a lot of fans are excited to meet Philippa for the first time, Codringher and Fenn, Rience, Nenneke. There’s so many, but I would have to say Vesemir is the one I’m looking most forward to our audience meeting. Vesemir is so integral to the story that we’re telling this season.”
Netflix has set a December 17, 2021 premiere date for season two.
