‘The Witcher’ Season 3 – A Dangerous New Enemy Awaits Geralt in Henry Cavill’s Last Season
Action and magic await! The Witcher Season 3 trailer reveals new enemies, dangers, and a better look at The Wild Hunt.
At the end of the season, 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 experiences of the trio of lead characters 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 than one of actual love and care. Geralt is less of an impenetrable force. Yennifer navigates the treacherous politics of the Wizard’s Council. All of them gain an understanding of what’s at risk.

First Trailer
The Witcher Season 3 will likely cover the events in Baptism of Fire and The Tower of the Swallow. The elves become a much larger part of the story, and the universe is about to get much bigger. On top of the war continuing, the Wizard’s Council has been shattered by a coup, and the future of magic is under threat. The Wild Hunt is looming. Ciri, the child of prophecy and savior, is in hiding. Geralt must find her before her enemies do.
Check out our first look at Henry Cavill’s final appearance as Geralt.
The Witcher Season 3 Cast & Details
The core cast and crew are returning. This is Henry Cavill’s last season as Geralt. He’s being replaced in Season 4 by Liam Hemsworth (Chris’ younger brother, who is known for his role in The Hunger Games franchise). He’s tall, built, and can look successfully scruffy.
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.
This season is split in two, as Netflix has gotten in the habit of doing. Episodes 1-5 drop in June and 6-8 in July.
The Witcher Season 3 arrives on Netflix on June 29th and July 27th.
