The Witcher returns for its second season this December, and on the heels of the trailer and clips that debuted during the recent TUDUM event, Netflix has shared a new poster featuring the grouchy monster-hunter of the title, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill).
Geralt is, of course, "destined to protect" Ciri (Freya Allen), who he took under his wing in the season 1 finale. In season 2, the pair will travel to Kaer Morhen, where Geralt and his fellow Witchers will attempt to train her to utilize her mysterious abilities.
Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) was believed to have been killed during the Battle of Sodden, but we know from the trailer that she actually survived, and is sure to play a key role in the events to come.
Cavill, Allen and Chalotra join fellow returning cast members Joey Batey, MyAnna Buring, Tom Canton, Lilly Cooper, Jeremy Crawford, Eamon Farren, Mahesh Jadu, Terence Maynard, Lars Mikkelsen, Mimî M Khayisa, Royce Pierreson, Wilson Mbomio, Anna Shaffer, and Therica Wilson-Read. New recruits include Yasen Atour as Coen, Agnes Born as Vereena, Paul Bullion as Lambert, Basil Eidenbenz as Eskel, Aisha Fabienne Ross as Lydia, Kristofer Hivju as Nivellen, Mecia Simson as Francesca, and Kim Bodnia as Vesemir.
In addition, Adjoa Andoh will play Nenneke, Cassie Clare is on board as Phillippa Eilhart, Liz Carr has been cast as Fenn, Graham McTavish will portray Dijkstra, Kevin Doyle will play Ba’lian, Simon Callow is Codringher, and Chris Fulton will take on the role of Rience.
The Witcher was recently renewed for a third season.
