For the third season of The Witcher, Netflix has reunited the cast, with Henry Cavill (Geralt), Anya Chalotra (Yennefer), and Freya Allan (Ciri) all returning to set for the next instalment of the swirling fantasy narrative.

It’s only been a few months since the second season of The Witcher was released to critical praise and a rather contentious reaction among fans. However, it appears like the streaming behemoth is already moving full steam ahead with the next season’s production, with the main cast already filming sequences from A Time of Contempt, Andrzej Sapkowski’s third novel in the tale, on which season 3 will be based.

The Witcher’s official Twitter page has released the first official season 3 synopsis, suggesting that the program would follow the same narrative framework as the novels.

The tweet reads, “As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed on a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, and put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever. ”

The first behind-the-scenes picture of Cavill, Chalotra, and Allan in costume filming on a wintry setting has also been released by Netflix, which you can see below.

Lauren S. Hissrich, the show’s executive producer and creator, is currently in production, with an unannounced release window that puts The Witcher season 3’s premiere date anywhere between late 2022 and early 2023, though there’s a good chance it’ll stick to the December premiere preferred by the first two.
