The wait for The Witcher season 2 is going to be a long one, but it will be worth it. The show will return for its second season and filming is underway now.
Season 2 has been in the works since early 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic has caused some delays with production. Henry was reportedly injured during production but is expected to resume filming once he recovers. The Witcher season 2 will bring brand-new cast members into the mix as well. These are the latest updates about The Witcher season 2.

3. Release Date
Netflix hasn’t officially announced the season 2 release date, but the second season is expected to debut in 2021. In early Jan. 2020, The Witcher EP and showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich said in a Reddit AMA that there was not a “target launch date for season 2, past 2021.” Given the COVID-19 pandemic and delays, it would not be surprising if season 2 launched in late 2021 or even 2022.
