![]() Yenn has a change of heart and we all get our hearts stolen when Geralt saves the day, sending Ciri away with Jaskier back to Kaer Morhen and declaring to Yennefer that Ciri is “mine”. Yennefer actually helps teach Ciri some magic tricks but Ciri finds out Yennefer is betraying her. Ciri is now being pursued by a fire mage with a mysterious task, to escape him, Yennefer teaches her how to portal and they go on a little road trip without Geralt. ![]() Surprise, Geralt, Ciri, and Yenn run into each other at the Temple of Melitele where Ciri is meant to be learning magic from the priestess Nenneke played by the fabulous Adjoa Andoh who you might recognize from another Netflix high flier, Bridgerton. Geralt finds out Yenn is alive, just as Yenn finds out from the deathless mother that all she needs to do to get her powers back is deliver Ciri to… something bad. The second half of Season 2 informs us that Ciri is prophesied to destroy the world and she is linked to the monoliths scattered over it, she also insists on being the trial subject of the torturous witcher-making process using her own blood (Geralt steps in just in time). It has to be said that the center point of the season is defined by the reintroduction of Joey Batey as Jaskier with his spine-tingling rendition of "Burn Butcher Burn". Yennefer finally returns to Aretuza, and we have an emotional reunion with mother-figure Tissaia (who also presumed her dead). Despite the plot being constantly flung in our faces to set up the second half of the season, we also had some heart-wrenching scenes. Up in Kaer Morhen Vesemir ( Kim Bodnia) discovers Ciri’s powers are due to her possession of the elder blood, a long presumed extinct mutagen ingredient for creating new witchers. The war between Nilfgaard and Cintra introduces elven sorceress Francesca Findabair ( Mecia Simson) who forges an alliance with the Nilfgaardian Mage Fringilla ( Mimi Ndiweni) however when Francesca is found to be pregnant, a spanner is thrown in the works. Yennefer loses her magic to a trapped demon, the deathless mother (that will be important later). Everyone thinks Yennefer is dead but spoiler alert, she isn’t. ![]() The first half of the season sees Ciri and Geralt travel to Kaer Morhen and the world's most awkward father-daughter relationship. The writers of Season 2 had their work cut out following up on all the cliffhangers and storylines we were left with after Season 1. So without further ado let’s dive back into the magical world of Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher. While the Season 2 finale might have seen our leading characters side by side, don’t expect any peace and quiet coming your way in the next installment. It’s been a long road of epic battles, expertly orchestrated character development, and insane special effects with a budget reported to be on par with Marvel Disney+ shows. The first two seasons have (finally) united our three main characters Geralt of Rivia ( Henry Cavill), Yennefer of Vengerberg played by the stunning Anya Chalotra, and completing the trio is Ciri (or Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon) portrayed by up-and-coming actress Freya Allan. ![]() After the sensational second season climbed into Netflix’s most-watched TV list in just one month we can’t blame you for wanting a glimpse into what the writers, directors, and the incredible talent of executive producer Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich have in store. The Witcherhas quickly become one of Netflix's most beloved shows.

It'll be interesting to see if Nivellan recurs later in the season. : I've lived through a whole dark age and three supposed end of days.Geralt: I've lived through a whole dark age and three supposed end of days. Nivellen: I'm simply saying, the North and South at war, monsters roaming when they should be hibernating, pestilence sweeping the land. If Season 1 served the purpose of laying out the pasts of our three protagonists, Season 2 is gearing up for future conflicts and potential obstacles. The world's acting of its own strange accord these days. Mind you, the visual effects team has had two years of COVID delay to really show what they can do, and it's an undeniably spectacular final product showcased here.Įqually impressive is the exposition slipped into Geralt's chats with Nivellan. Geralt's battle with Vereena is more involved than I remember the Witcher elixir-fueled fights from Season 1 being.
