Trailer For The Witcher Season Two Has Been Released

The latest trailer for The Witcher series two has dropped, and it looks like it's going to be a belter.

As you can see, it promises to bring more brooding from the titular Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, and a whole host of incredible fights and set pieces, as well as a number of fantastic monsters.

However, those monsters are getting fewer and fewer, which is bad news for any Witchers out there looking to make a couple of quid.

The full synopsis reads from Netflix 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."

Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allen, and Joey Batey are all coming back for the second series, and it's touching down on Netflix on December 17.

As well as the sort of fayre that we've come to expect from the blockbuster series, showrunner and executive producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich also said that there will be a more tender side to the series, as Geralt starts to play more of a paternal role to the disenfranchised Princess Cirilla.

However, it's going to be tough. Allan, who plays Cirilla, explained: "Ciri is lacking trust in people, generally, and he's trying to understand this girl he's looking after."

The second season is expected to continue on from where the first left off, although given the amount of time-skipping and flashbacks in the previous outing, we can probably expect a bit of that as well.

Hissrich seemed to suggest that there'll be less playing fast and loose with the timeline this time around, though.

She told the assembled press and fans at online event WitcherCon: "We want to tell the best version of [the story]."

That seems to have been aimed at those who have suggested that a more linear narrative might be better.

As for Chalotra's Yennefer of Vengerberg, she's going on a mission to discover herself.

Chalotra herself said: "The choices she makes in Season 2 will resonate with people a lot more.

"She makes some unlikely alliances and it changes her way of thinking. It really changes her."

Still, we've only got to wait until December 17 to find out exactly what the next season will bring.
