With Henry Cavill’s The Witcher receiving a second season, fans are already wondering which characters will be making the jump from page to screen for the Geralt’s next batch of episodes on Netflix. The showrunner on The Witcher recently teased their plans for the second season of the fantasy series, explaining in a Reddit AMA that fans can expect new characters to appear when the series returns.
When discussing the issue of introducing Yennefer and Ciri later in the series, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich told fans of Henry Cavill’s The Witcher that although the focus is obviously about Geralt, there’ll be new “fun” characters that will debut in the second season. While the showrunner didn’t tease which characters they’re looking to use, she stressed that this story is about Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri becoming a family. Take a look at what the showrunner on The Witcher had to say about the second season.
“Yes, you can always introduce more characters as you go along in a show. We’ll be doing that as well — there’s a whole new set of fun characters coming in S2. But it was important to me that from the very beginning, the audience know that this story is about Geralt, yes, but it’s also about Yennefer and about Ciri and — most importantly — about what happens when they find each other and become a family.”
