In 2019, The Witcher live-action creator Lauren Hissrich said she had a seven-season plan for the series. At the time, the first season of the series had not yet aired, so the plan seemed somewhat optimistic. But the episode was well received when it aired, so the plan may not be out of reach.
The good news is that if Netflix decides to actually shoot a seven-season series, Henrry Cavill, the lead actor who plays Geralt, is ready. Referring to the plan in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said: "Absolutely (and will continue to shoot), as long as we continue to tell excellent stories that pay tribute to the work of [The Witcher's original author] Sapkowski." ”
In the same interview, Hissrich confirmed recent comments about Cavill playing the more "smart" Geralt in the second season of The Witcher and praised him for helping flesh out the idea. "A lot of the notes he sent me [after the first season] were about Geralt's conversations — first of all, could he have more lines?" Hissrich said: "Everyone who watched the first season felt humor and love for Geralt's anger. But Henry says that when reading the original novel, many of the chapters are used to describe Geralt's inner monologue. So how do we show it in the episode? At the same time, I want to tell the story of his existence as Cirie's father. So these two things are wonderfully combined. He opens his heart and makes Ciri trust him by speaking more of his inner thoughts. ”
The second season of The Witcher will premiere on December 17, when more characters will appear, including Geralt's wizarding friends at Kelmohan Castle, Withermere, Esker, and Lambert.
