Netflix’s The Witcher series season 2 - Geralt sits in an upholstered chair at night in kaer morhen next to a mug, wearing his Witcher medallion.

Netflix have started filming the third season of The Witcher, their flashy (and dumb and campy and fun) adaptation of the books about the white-haired monster hunter. To prove it, they shared a single on-location photo of the filming and the new season’s official synopsis.

Let’s start with the picture, because I like pictures, they’re nice:

A production shot of season three of The Witcher, showing the actors and actresses behind Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer chilling in the snow on those tall actor chairs.

It was reported three months ago, alongside the release of season two, that the scripts for The Witcher’s third seasonwere almost done. It’s a much shorter gap between seasons than there was between the first and second, where filming was delayed as a result of the Covid-19 panedemic.

While Netflix’s adaptations are based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels and not the game, there’s obvious overlap. Last month CD Projekt Red confirmed that they were working on afourth entry in their Witcher series, although the expectation is that it won’t star Geralt as the protagonist.

If it’s Geralt you want, then you’ll have to settle for Henry Cavill in a wig. Here’s the trailer for season two to refresh your memory:
