The Witcher Season 3 is officially in production

Netflix has released the first photo from the set of Season 3 of its hit series The Witcher.

The Witcher stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, the bane of supernatural beasties. It is the story of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters compete for survival and thrive and where good and evil can be hard to discern. Anya Chalotra also stars as Yennefer of Vengerberg and Freya as Princess Cirilla of Cintra.

The three are seen in the photo above, on the first day of production. Netflix shared the picture on Twitter announcing: “Our family is back together again. #TheWitcher Season 3 is officially in production!”

The official plot summary reads: In season 3, as monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, 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 guarded fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they find out 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.

Lauren Schmidt Hissrich serves as showrunner and executive producer, Tomek Baginski, Jason F. Brown, Sean Daniel, Mike Ostrowski, Steve Gaub and Jarosław Sawko.

A premiere date for Season 3 has yet to be arranged.
