Netflix’s The Witcher will be back up and running production on season two in August. The Witcher was one of many, many projects shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Now, as we draw in close to when shooting can begin, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich is providing us with inside information. In a recent interview, Hissrich reveals that the second season will alter the meeting of Henry Cavill’s Geralt and Freya Allan’s Ciri.
“Well, what’s really fun about Season 2 is that in the books, [after] Geralt and Ciri meet in that moment in Sodden … when we come back in the next book, we’ve actually skipped a lot of time. Well, we found in writing the show that we didn’t actually want to skip over those first months of them getting to know each other. That’s part of the fun, is to take these characters, as you say, who understand that they’re each other’s destiny — not really embracing it, but accepting that this is what they need to do to continue walking through The Continent. And then see like, what would that really be like? What would it be like for two strangers to come together and feel like that’s what they’ve been driving for for the entire season? They finally got together and then they’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t know you at all. You are a stranger.'”
She added:
“And you know, Geralt, of course, has no experience with parenting, with children, with having a sort of continuous relationship in his life. He’s a vagabond of sorts. He’s a traveler. He purposely doesn’t establish long relationships and now he has one that’s going to be with him for a very long time.”
