It’ll still be a while before the next chapter of The Witcher appears on Netflix — and just so we’re clear, Henry Cavill WILL be in that season; it’s already been filmed. It’s the FOURTH season in which he’ll be abruptly replaced. We’ll see how things go from there.
Big glass-half-full energy coming from Netflix this weekend. They just announced fan-favorite fantasy The Witcher has been picked up for a fourth season — and no, there is no third season you missed. There are currently two available to watch; the third is still under production. But this allows them to craft that season without worrying if they have to make the season finale count as an ending.
After years of massive hype, Cyberpunk 2077 was pretty much a flop, and the blame for that entirely belongs to CD Projekt red, the company that made it. The tumultuous development history is well-known at this point, with multiple versions of the game being scrapped until one was hastily put together under heavy and abusive crunch conditions. The finished game was a buggy, malfunctioning Hindenburg. That, however, isn’t stopping CDPR from building their next zeppelin!
The Witcher has three main characters: the Witcher himself, the sorceress Yennefer, and the princess Ciri — but only rarely have all three been onscreen at the same time. Season 1 involved Geralt and Yennfer meeting and fooling around while Ciri escaped her burning kingdom and ran from one peril to another. In Season 2 Geralt finally found Ciri and became her father figure, so they spent pretty much the whole season together but Yennefer was off doing her own thing somewhere else. It was only in the final episode of Season 2 that the three finally met in one place.
THE WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN is coming to Netflix. This is a prequel nobody asked for, but we can’t deny though that we needed this in our life.Netflix found a goldmine with their adaptation of the Andrzej Sapkowski novels and videogame franchise The Witcher. This prequel is not an adaptation of the Book. It is a stand-alone original prequel with approval from Sapkowski.
Netflic is trying something different: instead of releasing trailers for their upcoming shows one at a time, like they normally do, they pooled a bunch of their heaviest hitters together and released all their trailers at once in an event they’ve dubbed TUDUM, after the noise Netflix makes when you turn it on. I personally would have found another name, as TUDUM looks dangerously close to TEDIUM, but we’ll have to save that snark for another day. We got a decent amount of valuable news out of this.
Good news for everyone with a Netflix subscription: one of its best programs is confirmed to be returning within 2021. Until now, nobody knew when we’d be getting the second season of The Witcher, and it could very well have taken until 2022 to show up…but the company revealed today Season 2 will appear in the second half of this year. It’s not an EXACT release date but it’s close enough.
The television and film industry is slowly firing the machine back up, and as you might imagine, it’s a delicate and tricky process. Netflix will resume filming Season 2 of The Witcher on August 17, and the staff is currently setting up the necessary precautions and safety measures. How do you plan out a fantasy epic under such conditions? Like this:
It was already going to take a while before we saw the second season of Netflix’s The Witcher, and now the pandemic has made the wait even longer. How can we pass the time, besides playing the video game again? Netflix has an idea….a six-part prequel spinoff miniseries that will reveal how the Witchers came to be in the first place!
Good news for fans of Netflix’s The Witcher: it’s been picked up for a second season! ….wait, there aren’t any fans of the show yet, because outside of a couple VFX studios, no one’s actually SEEN the show. The first season doesn’t premiere on Netflix until later next month.
We hoped we’d get a bigger look at Netflix’s The Witcher from SDCC, and it just happened! The streamer just now released the anticipated debut trailer for the fantasy series.
The Witcher is coming to TV, and we got our first look at Netflix’s upcoming series today. Full-body images of the main cast were released, in costume. They look a lot like the video game characters, but The Witcher is actually an adaption of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, not the game based on them.
