The Witcher Season 2: Plot Details
The first season of The Witcher will bring in the invasion of the Kingdom of Cintra by the Empire of Nilfgaard. This will serve as the turning event for the Geralt of Rivia. As Ciri, the princess of Cintra, comes under the provision of Geralt; they get accompanied by the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg, Geralt’s former lover. And the entire show revolves around these three characters.
The first season of The Witcher will feature some of the short stories of The Last Wish, by Andrej Sapkowski.
