Netflix has revealed a new trailer for the second season of the action-fantasy series, “The Witcher.” Henry Cavill will return in his iconic role of Geralt of Rivia in Season 2 on December 17 on Netflix, worldwide.
The trailer begins with Nivellen (Kristofer Hivju) telling, "Something has changed, Geralt. The world's acting strange these days. The North and South at war, Monsters roaming when they should be hibernating. Maybe it's the end of days." "I've lived through three supposed "end of days." It's all horseshit," Geralt confidently replies. The trailer proceeds further as Geralt says, "This continent was meant for no one. None of us will have any peace until there are no monsters left in the world."
The second season will start soon after the first season-ending. Convinced that 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.
Showrunner and exec. producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich also teased what fans can expect in the much-anticipated season 2. "This season explores so many multi-generational stories, Tissaia and Yen being one of them. Look for a special scene at Aretuza, filled with lightning," said Hissrich. On asked how much it took to transform Kristofer Hivju to Nivellen, she said, "It took Hours. Kris was the BEST sport and brought a new life to the short story. Nivellen’s eyes are Kris’s eyes — watch just how much story they tell in every shot."
Returning cast for season 2 includes Henry Cavill, Freya Allan, and Anya Chalotra, while new cast members include Adjoa Andoh as Nenneke, Cassie Clare as Phillippa Eilhart, Liz Carr as Fenn, Graham McTavish as Dijkstra, Kevin Doyle as Ba’lian, Simon Callow as Codringher, Chris Fulton as Rience.
