April 4, 2022

Netflix has begun production on The Witcher Season 3 and now fans have a first look at the returns of Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer. Netflix released a behind-the-scenes photo of Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, and Freya Allan in costume for the fantasy show.

“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,” says the official synopsis for the third season. “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 in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever.”
