With the success of Netflix's TV adaptation of The Witcher, it was a no brainer for the streaming service to renew the series. As reported by Forbes, the fantasy show starring Henry Cavill was the third biggest original series in its US debut on the platform. Now, fans are eager to see what's next for Geralt of Rivia.

Although an exact release date for the second season hasn't been announced, more details are starting to emerge. According to a report by Redanian Intelligence (per GamesRadar), two newbies will be introduced—Lambert and Coën. And the castings are reportedly already done. Paul Bullion of Peaky Blinders fame and Yasen Atour from the 2016 film Ben-Hur are said to be playing the two characters, respectively.

The same reports claims filming should conclude by August, in time for a 2021 premiere. We're excited to keep hearing more chatter about the highly-anticipated second installment of The Witcher!
