The most anticipated series of Netflix 2020 or when the 2nd season of The Witcher comes out
The coronavirus epidemic even reached the White Wolf, slowing down the filming process of the second season of The Witcher. It will resume at the end of summer, August 17, as reported in the official Twitter project.
I’m dusting off my lute and quill,
I have some news, some mead to spill:
After all the months we’ve been apart
It’s time for production to restart.
The Witcher and his bard - who’s flawless,
Will reunite on set 17 August.- The Witcher (@witchernetflix) June 22, 2020
Alas, most likely fans of one of the best Netflix series will be disappointed, and this year the sequel to The Witcher will not work. Presumably, it should be expected in August 2021, although the date of the premiere has not yet been announced.
In the second part there will be no jumps between different time periods, which only confused the audience. The main focus will be on the Geralt-Yennifer-Tsiri triangle, and we will also be shown the witcher Wesemir, in the role of Kim Bodnia.
