Showrunner Lauren Schmidt said season two will take more material from The Last Wish and The Sword of Destiny, which are short stories set before the Witcher saga, as well as Blood of Elves, which is the first book in the saga.

“A lot of what we’ve set up in season one will come into play in season two,” Lauren told the Radio Times. “We will get into some stuff from Blood of Elves. But I also think there are things that we wanted to adapt from The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny that we didn’t have time to do.”

Lauren continued: “So to be blessed with a season two, and to know that we can go back and revisit some of those things, is really exciting. There will be a big mix of things.”

Meanwhile, the official Netflix logline 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.”

@DragonLady Thanks for the comment. I had the exact same experience that you did. Read two or three of the books. I did think Andrzej Sapkowski had some kind of unique, signature style of language overall.

Agree about Netflix. I do NOT have it nor do I watch much anymore. The only reason I managed to see it was at a friend’s place. Binged watched it and it was fine. Solid series.

I recall this scene from the books. Only read three of them.

Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) brings Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan) to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen in this exclusive clip from Episode 2 of The Witcher Season 2, premiering December 17 on Netflix.

so, it’s tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

DarthVengeant, agree that episode with the cursed man was a really good episode. I like the scene with the truth-or-drink, knife-throwing contest. Fantasy is not usually my thing, but watching this, I find it disappointing that Dungeons&Dragons or Wheel Of Time could not be on this level. This show with the chaos magic and the girl reminds me of a series by Drew Karpyshyn, who wrote Darth Bane trilogy, called The Chaos Born Trilogy. It was eerie how close the resemblance was.

Also, the difference maker really is Henry Cavill. I kind of took him for granted before and thought he was a great Superman, but when Jeremy just casually said he thinks in another time, Cavill would have been the biggest movie star, once again, Jeremy nails it. It seems like Jeremy says these things off the cuff that make me think. They are just throwaway lines and comments for him, but makes me think, dang, he’s correct. Henry Cavill said he’d like to do Mass Effect or Warhammer. How much time does he have left as a prime actor? If Cavill could only pick one, which should he pick, Mass Effect or Warhammer?

Step inside Kaer Morhen, the legendary home of the witchers, to meet the dysfunctional School of the Wolf brotherhood – including Vesemir, Lambert, Coen, and Eskel – who will be joining Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Season 2.

There was a comment on one of Gary’s videos that said there is a Polish show called “The Hexer” which is about Geralt. Show was done 20 years ago. It is out there on some sites, The Hexer.
