The Witcher: filming for season 3 has started, Netflix unveils a synopsis

Here we go again for new adventures in the series The Witcher on Netflix, while the webcaster revealed on Twitter on Monday that filming for the third season had just begun.

In doing so, Netflix shared a photo of Henry Cavill (Geralt), Freya Allen (Ciri), and Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) sitting in folding chairs by what appears to be an icy lake. The trio is obviously waiting to shoot a scene for the new season of the series inspired by the novels of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

The digital broadcaster also took the opportunity to present a first synopsis of the third chapter of the television saga.

According to this one, the new season will see Geralt take Ciri to a safe haven to hide her from “continental monarchs, mages and beasts.” [qui] compete to capture it. The two heroes will be led by Yennefer to the protected fortress of Aretuza, with the aim of “learning more about the maiden’s untapped powers”. The trio will nevertheless fall there rather on a “battlefield of political corruption, black magic and treason”.

In short, it’s not going to be easy for Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer.

In one blog post from Netflix, we also learn that this third series of episodes will be directed by Stephen Surjik (Reacher, The Umbrella Academy), Gandja Monteiro (Brand New Cherry Flavor, The Chi), Loni Peristere (American Horror Story, A Series of Unfortunate Events) and Bola Ogun (Raising Dion, Lucifer).

Note that no release date has yet been announced for season 3 of Witcher. After all, the second season of the series was launched just a few months ago, last December. The first season, meanwhile, had seen the light of day two years earlier, in 2019.

The fans of Witcher however, will have something else to eat by the release of season 3 of the main series, while the pre-episode The Witcher: Blood Origin is due out somewhere in 2022. Again, however, no specific release date has yet been announced.
