This is a GREAT sign. - by Milly Haddrick
  • 14 Nov 2019

The Witcher season one won't hit Netflix for another month, but the streaming service is so confident in their new fantasy series that they've already renewed it for season two. 

Big call Netflix. Huge. 

WATCH: All the holiday films & series' coming to Netflix for Christmas 2019

The Witcher, which stars former-Superman and genetically blessed actor Henry Cavill, was approved for an early season two renewal on Wednesday with the second season set to drop in 2021.

We are ready!

Netflix

The Witcher will be based on the Witcher novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski but for all those video game lovers don't worry, the series will also feature nods to the famous game as well. 

So what's it about? 

The new show will star Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, who's part of a breed of monster hunters called 'Witcher's', hence the name.

Geralt will spend season one fighting demonic entities who have arrived in his world (known as The Continent) from other dimensions.

Who is in the cast?

The cast is pretty stacked with talent and will feature Henry Cavill as Geralt while Anya Chalotra will portray the sorceress Yennefer, Freya Allan will play Ciri and Joey Batey will play Jaskier.

After Netflix announced they would be renewing The Witcher for season 2, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich released an excited statement: "I’m so thrilled that before fans have even seen our first season, we are able to confirm that we’ll be returning to The Continent again to continue telling the stories of Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri." 

The Witcher

Get ready fam.

Netflix

Season two of The Witcher won't start filming until early next year, but season one will premiere on Netflix December 20 so clear your schedule that day because you'll have some serious tv-binging to do.
