The Witcher was updated for a renewal on November 13, 2019. The renewal was ensued before the show made its debut on Netflix on December 20 in 2019.

Filming for the show resumed in August, 2020. This was delayed as the production was shut down in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The set photos for the second season of The Witcher was released by the Director of the movies, offering a good look at Anya Chalotra’s Yennefer and Freya Allan’s Ciri. The actors were shown to be on horseback together, and the images also featured their doubles. The team is also “learning to social distance”, while on the sets.

Showrunner Hissrich comments about the premise of the coming season. “A lot of what we’ve set up in season one will come into play in season two. We will get into some stuff from Blood of Elves. But I also think there are things that we wanted to adapt from The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny that we didn’t have time to do.”
