Read our privacy policy The Witcher showrunner has announced season two will introduce a big change following fan criticism. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich explained the decision in a Reddit AMA earlier this month, saying: “The narrative structure was put in place so that we could tell Geralt’s short stories, while Ciri and Yennefer could also be a part of the action. “Their stories don’t happen simultaneously, so we knew we needed to play with time a bit.” She added that she was shocked it became one of the most criticised parts of the show, which is on course to have the most successful debut season of a TV show in Netflix history. The Witcher stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter in a world known as The Continent Season two is expected to be available to stream on Netflix in 2021.
