‘The Witcher’ Season 3 First Look – Yennefer, Ciri, and Geralt on Set
A new family formed at the end of season two and they are together again in the behind the scenes look at The Witcher Season 3.
At the end of season two a war is on. The forces needed to win the battle come from all over the Continent. Monsters and magic appear in ways that haven’t been seen in centuries. Humans, Elves, Mages, and Witchers will all play a part in defeating dark forces.
The trio of lead charcters’ experiences make them grow closer. Ciri is no longer a scared princess. She’s a headstrong fighter with a witty sense of humor. Her relationship with Geralt grows into something less of a responsibility to one of actual love. Geralt is less of a impenetrable force. Yennifer navigates the treacherous politics of the Wizard’s Council. All of them gain an understanding of what’s at risk.
The family are returning in The Witcher Season 3, which is filming right now. The trio is on a snowy field in this first set photo.

The Witcher Season 3 Details
No release date, yet. They’re actively filming. I’d expect either spring of next year or if they push it December. It’s the same core crew and cast as the last two seasons. The official synopsis:
As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding. He is determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza. Where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers. Instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever.
