THE WITCHER Set Photos Confirm That The Series Will Feature A Major Villain From THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT Game

It's thought that The Witcher has now finished shooting its second season in the UK, and that means we can probably expect to see the series back on Netflix by the end of the year. Now, one final batch of set photos feature a major reveal about what's to come in the live-action adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's novels.

As you can see by following the link in the Tweet below, the Wild Hunt is coming to The Witcher!

The lead villains in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt video game, they're led by Eredin Bréacc Glas, commonly known as the King of the Wild Hunt. Believed to be wraiths due to their mystical powers and appearance, their true purpose is to find and capture slaves from other worlds. Eventually, they set their sights on Ciri for her Elder Blood, and it seems the series will now follow a similar direction.

It makes sense to introduce a big bad in The Witcher, especially with the series moving on from jumping between timelines to focus on Geralt of Rivia's quest to keep Ciri safe. 

Have a look at the photos below, and keep checking back here for updates on season two.

You know who'd make a fantastic villain, and even be a recurring character from the game? Gaunter O'Dimm. Bring on the master of mirrors.

@Doomsday8888 - Oh Shani...stole my heart from the moment I saw her.
I would cast someone with a gentler demeanor than Mark Strong. Someone like Stanley Tucci.

@Spagett - Given when the first season wrapped up and its premiere, season 2 should come late this fall, maybe end of October.

I haven't read the books so I don't know for sure, but wasn't the Wild Hunt already seen/mentioned very early on in the saga?

Can't wait for people to think this series is a video game adaptation.

They show up briefly in the books as typical wilhunt looking for slaves and a lot when Ciri goes to their world. They won't go own the witcher 3 route with them trying to capture Ciri so soon.

Costumes look much better; no idea why they were so awful in the first season. The villain looked like he was wearing a suit of thatched balls. That said, enjoyed it far more than I expected, and looking forward to this!

There's a book structure to follow, the butchered the 1st 2 books in a rush to get to the main saga & now they add the Wild Hunt (likely paying royalties to CDPR for the sick designs) to what's supposed to be the simple story of the 1st book in the saga. Just take it one step at a time!
