Henry Cavill has confirmed pre-production on "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher". Even with mixed reviews, The Witcher is clearly a huge success for Netflix.
With most people having watched all eight episodes of season 1 by this point, attention is starting to turn more and more to mapped the series out to a potential season 7, so it stands to reason pre-production on season 2 should be getting underway sooner than later. According to the latest update from the show's lead Cavill, that's very much the case.
Taking to Instagram, Cavill has revealed pre-production on The Witcher season 2 will get started "very shortly", ahead of the show's return at a yet to be announced date next year. You can watch his video, below.
Seeing as Sapkowski completed the final Witcher Saga novel more than twenty years ago (1999's The Lady of the Lake), this isn't a plot thread left dangling at the end of season 1 either. Even after being defeated by Yennefer and the mages, Nilfgaard remains a massive threat that must be reckoned with, and will surely have an important role to play in season 2.
It's encouraging to hear pre-production on The Witcher season 2 is about to get underway, though, so soon after season 1's success. Since the show won't be coming back this year, that gives Hissrich and her cast/crew plenty of time to plan things out and deliver another slate of episodes that who found season 1's non-linear timeline confusing more than anything else.
The Witcher season 2 streams on Netflix sometime in 2021.
