The Witcher Season 2 Netflix release date
Here's what you need to know about The Witcher Season 2's Netflix release date, plus trailers, news, and more.
The Witcher took the world by storm when it premiered on Netflix, casting Henry Cavill as the main character. It was a hit—and deservedly so—though it has left many clambering to find out when The Witcher Season 2 release date is.
The Witcher Season 2 Netflix release date
Those looking for news of a final release date for The Witcher Season 2 on Netflix will be disappointed to learn that no date has been set just yet. As such, there’s no telling when the latest season of the show will arrive in your list as an available title to watch.

We do know that Season 2 is expected to arrive sometime in 2021, however. This information was revealed by Lauren S. Hissrich, the showrunner for The Witcher on Netflix, in an AMA on Reddit.
“We don’t yet have a target launch data for Season 2, past 2021,” Hissrich said in the AMA. This has led many to believe that the show will probably come out in the later half of the year.
According to TechRadar, a special effects company called Platige Image is set to complete work on the eight episodes for season 2 by July 2021. The company’s work on season 1 was originally due in November 2019, with the show launching worldwide in December. So, we could possibly be looking at an August release date if things lineup again.
The Witcher 2 trailers, photos, and more
While no official trailers have dropped for Season 2 just yet, we have seen a few teasers for the upcoming season of The Witcher.
We got our first look at Season 2 with a series of tweets including photos of Geralt, Ciri, and Yenefer. Check them out.

In late December, Netflix also shared a short page from the show's script, and some new images from Season 2.

There were also a few glimpses of some new monsters in the Monster Mashup video that Netflix released, though it isn't anything super revealing about the story.
Photos shared to the r/NetflixWitcher Twitter account in March also gave us a glimpse of what many speculate is to be the Wild Hunt.

The Witcher Season 3 news
We’ve already seen rumors that The Witcher Season 3 might be in the works , but with Season 2 still underway, it's unclear when Season 3 news will start to drop. For now, we'll focus on keeping up to date on news about Season 2, and will update this section when there is more to share.
If you haven’t already watched The Witcher Season 1 on Netflix, then we highly recommend checking it out. It’s a very solid representation of bringing a book/gaming IP to the television screen. If you have watched it, but are confused about the timeline—it doesn’t move chronologically—then we can also help with that. In our The Witcher timeline breakdown, we show you where every episode takes place in Geralt’s story to help you understand the storyline a bit better.
We’ll continue to keep an eye out for any additional news about The Witcher Season 2 on Netflix, though it could still be a way off from releasing. Considering the first season launched in December of 2019, we can only speculate that a release somewhere around the same time later this year would make sense, though that isn’t guaranteed.
