The Witcher has no shortage of gruesome monsters or gruesome violence, but the second season of the hit Netflix fantasy series appears to offer up something that Geralt (
Henry Cavill) has never seen before. Netflix has released a teaser image of a script page from
The Witcher season 2, describing a scene that perhaps introduces a new monster and a dangerous mystery for Geralt.
The Witcher season 2 brings back Cavill as Geralt,
Freya Allan as Ciri, and
Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, some time after the events of the season 1 finale, which saw all the (somewhat confusing) timelines converge with the meeting of Geralt and Ciri, his new ward after her family was dethroned and killed. The season will follow Geralt and Ciri as they return to Geralt’s home at Kaer Morehn and begin Ciri’s combat and magical training.
What s it about? An adaptation of the eponymous song by Renato Russo, a famous Brazilian singer and composer. After doing time in jail for killing the cop who murdered his father, Joao (Boliveira) heads for Brasilia where a distant cousin from Argentina helps him get a start as a carpenter s apprentice - as long as he sidelines as a drug dealer. He falls in love with Maria Lucia (Valverde), the daughter of a senator, who wants Joao to stop dealing, but his rival Jeremiah ensures that Joao has no hope but to stay in the game.

The Witcher Reveals New Photos of Jaskier
In case you somehow missed it, Netflix s
The Witcher is currently running a little holiday event of sorts on social media where it is giving fans the opportunity to decide what sort of goodies and teases should be shared online. So far, it has offered a more direct option and then the ability to invoke the Law of Surprise. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, the Law of Surprise continues to win, with the latest drop being a batch of Jaskier photos that look like the bard s senior portraits.
The photos, which are described as a rare look into the bard s creative process, can be found embedded below. Unless Jaskier has not changed up his wardrobe like the rest of his compatriots for the new season, it doesn t actually appear as if these are from Season 2. The specific outfit he has on makes appearances in the first season. Geralt of Rivia looks pretty different for Season 2, so it seems reasonable to assume that Jaskier would too.
