Netflix announces The Witcher season 3, a season 2 premiere date, and…a Witcher kids show?

It’s been a very good time to be a fan of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher series of fantasy novels over the last few years: Not only have Sapkowski’s books spawned one of the best role-playing video game franchises in recent memory, but they’ve been heartily embraced by Netflix, which has held up The Witcher as its flagship fantasy show.

Certainly, the series, and its upcoming Blood Origin prequel miniseries, have gotten pride of place at (ugh) Tudum, today, finishing out the Netflix fan event with fully four different video clips emphasizing different parts of Geralt, Yennerfer, and Ciri’s journey, as well as the wider Witcher-verse. And if you expect things in these clips to not be magical, bloody, and a little drunk, well: You probably haven’t tuned into The Witcher just yet.

Henry Cavill started by showing off two clips from The Witcher season 2 proper. The first features Geralt drinking with an old friend, who reminds him that, just because he and Ciri have finally met up after a season full of lots of “destiny” talk, he’s still going to have to keep her safe—including from the people who turned him into a witcher himself. In the second, we get reminded that Geralt’s heroism generally involves a lot of snarling at people and drinking weird potions, as he goes prowling for a monster who’s invaded the mansion he and Ciri are staying in.
