‘The Witcher’ Season 3 – Geralt Faces Real Fear in New Trailer
Geralt encounters a fear-inducing threat in the adrenaline-pumping final glimpse of The Witcher Season 3.
At the end of the season, a war is on. At the end of the season, a war is on. The forces needed to win the battle come from all over the Continent. Monsters and magic appear in ways that haven’t been seen in centuries. Humans, Elves, Mages, and Witchers will all play a part in defeating dark forces.
The experiences of the trio of lead characters make them grow closer. Ciri transcends her initial fearful princess persona, evolving into a determined fighter with a clever sense of humor. Her relationship with Geralt grows from being a mere duty to one rooted in genuine love – one of a father and daughter. Geralt himself becomes more vulnerable, shedding his previously impenetrable exterior. Yennefer deftly maneuvers the perilous political landscape of the Wizard’s Council.
All of them gain an understanding of what’s at risk.
In this next chapter, the elves become a much larger part of the story, and the universe is about to get much bigger. On top of the war continuing, the Wizard’s Council has been shattered by a coup, and the future of magic is under threat. The Wild Hunt is looming. Ciri, the child of prophecy and savior, is in hiding.
Geralt must find her before her enemies do and protect her. Though it does look like she’s doing a pretty good job of taking monsters out herself in the latest teaser.
Season 3: Volume 1 Teaser
This chapter begins with the three reunited, trying to live in a sort of neutrality and ignoring what’s going on around them. The latest look starts with Jaskier warning Geralt about the dangers of neutrality at this time when so much is at risk. That quiet life doesn’t last long.
The Witcher Season 3 Details
The core cast and crew are returning. This is Henry Cavill’s last season as Geralt. He’s being replaced in Season 4 and Season 5 by Liam Hemsworth (Chris’ younger brother, who is known for his role in The Hunger Games franchise). He’s tall, built, and can look successfully scruffy.
As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding. He is 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.
This season is split in two, as Netflix has annoyingly gotten in the habit of doing. Episodes 1-5 drop this Thursday and 6-8 in July.
The Witcher Season 3 arrives on Netflix on June 29th and July 27th.
