The wait is finally over. Geralt and Ciri are eventually coming back to Netflix. The makers of ‘The Witcher’ have revealed the teaser trailer of the much-awaited second season. Along with the teaser, Netflix also announced the release date on Friday during its first-ever WitcherCon. The Witcher season 2 will arrive on Netflix on Dec 17, 2021. Created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, the fantasy drama is based on a book series of the same name.
In the teaser revealed, Geralt (Henry Cavill) and Ciri (Freya Allan) are finally together after searching for each other throughout the first season.
