Henry is back from his holiday break and is promising updates, as pre-production on Season 2 of The Witcher gets ready to go.

We. Are. Ready.

Watch his first 2020 post!

The Witcher: New Stills From Season 1

Check out these new stills from Season 1 of The Witcher. By now we're hoping you've watched the series at least once because they're a bit spoilery if you haven't!

The pictures capture some beautiful scenes from the last few episodes of the show. You can see them in HQ at farfarawaysitecom.

The Witcher: Preps Begin On S2, What's Ahead, BTS Podcast

Expectations couldn't be higher for Season 2 of The Witcher and today executive producer Lauren S. Hissrich and producer Tomasz Bagiński had the news fans have been waiting for...

I just copy/paste, changing "LA" to "Warsaw" . Onto #TheWitcher S2! https://t.co/N2Ugq2GQ5n

— Baggins (@Ba66ins) January 8, 2020

They are both on their way presumably to London, to begin the prep work to start filming S2 this spring. Before leaving, Lauren revealed a bit of what's ahead during a Q&A on Reddit.

She mentioned there is no launch date yet for Season 2, simply because they "don't want to rush the product," but it is coming in 2021.

Some fans complained that the different timelines were too hard to follow in Season 1 and Lauren addressed that concern. She said that the story will be much more linear, now that the three characters' stories have started to intersect. Netflix has also released this handy graphic, to clear up what happens when in the first eight episodes of the series.

You can read the rest of Lauren's answers on Reddit. Just be prepared to scroll down for a bit, before you get to her feedback on everything The Witcher.

If that's not enough, you can now listen to the first episode of the show's BTS podcast. It's filled with a lot of cool details on how Season 1 was made.

Now that we've binged the series a couple of times, it's really fun to see the stunt work that went into making it.

Definitely check this man’s camera work out. Worked with him twice and would do so again at the drop of a hat. He understands story and emotion behind a camera move or shot which is a real gift for a director. @jamesfrater @witchernetflix @witchernetflxtv https://t.co/5Qi2FsYtTc

Season 2 is coming out next year, with filming expected to begin this spring. Stay tuned for updates on everything The Witcher.
