The show isn’t even out until next month, but Netflix is so confident in its franchise adaptation that season two is booked and starting production in 2020.
Producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich confirmed the news on Twitter, commending the “amazing cast and crew” of the show.
I’m so thrilled to announce: Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri will be back for more adventures… in Season Two.
I could not be more proud of what the amazing cast and crew of The Witcher have accomplished, and can’t wait for the world to dig in and enjoy these stories with us. ❤️⚔️🐺 pic.twitter.com/evWoHvUl1e

Based on Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski original Witcher novels, not the game (except the bath thing, maybe?), The Witcher’s TV debut is scheduled on 20 December, with an eight-episode first season. According to Variety, the second season will also feature eight episodes, and is expected to launch sometime in 2021.
