The Season 2 finale ended with some serious reveals, but most importantly, we began to see the realization of the destiny-linked connection between Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer. This emotional core is heightened by the mounting tensions and greater stakes that are already known to influence an even more dramatic Season 3.
The release date is, of course, not finalized, but pictures have revealed that filming is underway. Judging by the time it takes to bring everything together, The Witcher’s third season will likely show up late in 2023, marking a typical two-year gap between the seasons. Both previous seasons came out in mid-December, so that’s a likely guess for the third season as well.
The already extensive cast list is expanding as well. Robbie Amell (Upload) and Meng’er Zhang (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) are the most well-known additions.
The animated Nightmare of the Wolf film started off the extended Witcher universe in 2021 with incredible success, praised by fans and critics alike. Only one other spin-off has been announced; Blood Origin will premiere as a miniseries in 2022, telling the story of the first Witcher. A Lambert, Coen, and Eskel spin-off is rumored to be on its way as well, but that has not been officially slated for release.
It is already known that Season 3 will be based on the second book of the Witcher series, called Time of Contempt. If you are curious to know the story, the entire books series is available for purchase!
