A new poster for the upcoming second season of The Witcher shows the monster hunter Geralt of Rivia front and center. The second season of The Witcher will show the return of Ciri, Yennifer, and Geralt as the titular character looks to protect Ciri while showing her how to use her abilities.
The Witcher will begin by picking up right where the first season left off. The first season of The Witcher was controversial due to the fact that the story was told in a non-linear fashion with multiple timelines, which confused some viewers. The second season may have elements of this returning, but it's very unlikely.
The poster for the next season of The Witcher shows Geralt with darker enhanced eyes while holding his sword. The poster only has him front and center in an empty indoor castle building. Despite no one else being on the poster, expect many of the surviving characters of the first season to make a return, along with new faces and welcomed surprises. The Witcher does a good job at adapting a story and bringing it to another platform. The main reason for it doing well is because it technically is adapting a novel instead of adapting a video game, despite many looking at this as a video game adaptation. It's also one of the best adaptations so far.
With video game adaptations being far and few between, creators and fans alike would be smart to look at Netflix's The Witche r as a game adaptation in order to get a blueprint for what to do with other projects. The upcoming Last of Us, Uncharted, and Metal Gear adaptations have cast very notable actors, so it looks like these adaptations are being taken more seriously. With Chris Pratt set to play Mario, the video game industry may be the next target of Hollywood.
Things in the film world go through phases. Comic book movies are the craze as of now. Before it was the western, at one point it was slasher films, and at another point, it was action films. So, video games may be the next. Streaming platforms have noted that the video gaming industry is their biggest competitor, so it may come to a point where both must come together.
The Witcher season 2 will debut on Netflix on December 17th, 2021.
