As promised, Netflix has debuted the first full trailer for the upcoming third season of The Witcher, and it finds Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra), and Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan) doing their best to avoid the gaze of the dreaded Wild Hunt.
Of course, the spectral villains are not the only thing the makeshift family will have to contend with, as the threat of war looms, and various ferocious monsters must be dispatched in increasingly bloody fashion while Ciri continues on her journey to becoming a Witcher in her own right.
This will be the final season for Cavill, who controversially parted ways with the series last year. He'll be replaced by Liam Hemsworth as the titular monster hunter from season 4 on.
Check out the new trailer, which utilizes Radiohead's "Burn the Witch" to great effect, below.
As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line – or risk losing each other forever.
