Henry Cavill, The Witcher Jay Maidment/Netflix Casting But now that all three timelines have caught up to each other, we can't wait for Season 2 so that the series can really delve into the relationships between Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri. The first season was told across three timelines, each of which followed one of the three main characters. The show stars Cavill as monster hunter Geralt of Rivia, a witcher whose destiny becomes bound to the sorceress Yennefer ( Anya Chalotra) and the powerful princess Ciri ( Freya Allan). The Witcher is inspired by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher books, which also spawned the popular CD Projekt Red video game franchise. Netflix has released a lot of new info on the new season, as well as the expanding Witcherverse, including the premiere date and several other interesting tidbits about Season 2. However, rest assured that Geralt ( Henry Cavill) and the crew will be returning in 2021. The Witcher Season 2 has wrapped production, but there are still several weeks to go before fans can see new episodes of the popular Netflix series. Freya Allan and Paul Bullion, The Witcher Netflix
