Netflix has released the first teaser of The Witcher Season 2 in June revealing the cast and offers some clues on the plot.

The first season consisted of eight episodes and was released on Netflix in its entirety on December 20, 2019. It was based on The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, which are collections of short stories that precede the main Witcher saga.

The Witcher Season 1 concludes with the story of Yennefer, who used her power to save other sorcerers and sorceresses while Geralt and Ciri get reunited.

The Witcher Season 2 is likely to show Geralt returning to his childhood home with Ciri at KaerMorhen where Ciri will begin her training on mysterious power under the tutelage of Vesemir. He will teach her all about monsters and herbs, Lambert (Paul Bullion) and Eskel (Basil Eidenbenz) training her in the art of combat, and Coën (YasenAtour) training her to use a sword.

As per the logline published by Comic Book:

"Convinced Yennefer's life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent's kings, elves, humans, and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside."

The Witcher Season 2 will see the comeback of many characters, including Geralt of Rivia (plays Henry Cavill), Ciri (Freya Allan), Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra), Triss Merigold (Anna Shaffer), Jaskier (Joey Batey), Cahir (Eamon Farren), and Tissaia (My AnnaBuring).

The newly added stars in the upcoming series include Yasen Atour (as Coen), Agnes Born (Vereena), Paul Bullion (Lambert), Basil Eidenbenz (Eskel), Aisha Fabienne Ross (Lydia), Kristofer Hivju (Nivellen), Mecia Simson (Francesca), Kim Bodnia (Vesemir), Adjoa Andoh (Priestess Nenneke), Chris Fulton (Rience) and Graham McTavish (Sigismund Dijkstra).
