But, first of all, we remember: ‘The Witcher’ T2: Final explained What is the Wild Hunt?

Without a doubt, we are talking about one of the best original series on Netflix and, to take advantage of the pull, we can already enjoy the first two seasons of ‘The Witcher’, from the documentary ‘How The Witcher was Made’ (Nathan Wiley, 2020) and from the animated film ‘The Witcher: The Wolf’s Nightmare’ (Kwang Il Han, 2021).

Let the fans decide when they watch the new episodes, which are already among the most anticipated Netflix series of 2023.

‘The Witcher’, season 3: release date

Get out the calendars: the premiere date of season 3 of ‘The Witcher’ will be in the summer of 2023, Netflix has confirmed.

In January 2022, Lauren Schmidt stated: “The creative process has just begun.” Schmidt, creator of the series that adapts Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels (and CD Projekt’s video games), said in an interview with Tech Radar: “We have the scripts and now we’ll bring in the directors and the actors, and we’ll start to dig deeper and reflect to make sure it’s the perfect season.”

‘The Witcher’, season 3: synopsis

We have a small preview of the plot of season 3 of ‘The Witcher’ which, as readers will point out, corresponds loosely to the third book in the saga: Geralt will take Ciri with Yennefer to train her in her first-time magical powers in the protected fortress of Aretuza. But her refuge will be gripped by political corruption, dark magic and betrayal.

“We do about one book a season, but we also make sure that the stories in that book are the best ones in that season for our TV series,” Schmidt tells Collider. “So sometimes we move those chess pieces around a bit, there’s a big ‘Blood of the Elves’ story that we’re going to do in season three, for example. And there’s a short story that didn’t fit in season one, so we put it in the second one. We tried to be pretty flexible with that.”

“We’re definitely not going to be smaller in season three,” Steve Gaub, the show’s executive producer, who is immersed in massive pre-production, comments on his Instagram.
