NETFLIX has just released the first teaser trailer for the third season of their hit series, The Witcher.

Characters like Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, and the Wild Hunt riders could be seen in the brief teaser. Geralt swallows a potion to boost his abilities and acknowledges that “for the first time, he knows true fear”. 

We then see glimpses of the main characters getting into danger as the final few seconds announce that this season will be broken into two parts, the first of which will show on June 29 and the second on July 27.

As series creator Lauren Schmidt Hissrich explained: “For years, Geralt has claimed neutrality, shunned politics and publicly asserted that witchers don’t have emotions all to make his life as a killer easier to navigate.

"We’ve seen him battle monsters and monstrous humans; we’ve watched as he’s hardened himself in order to survive. This season, he can no longer do that.”

“Because, despite the ups and downs of last season and the trust that has to be rebuilt, he’s realised that Yennefer and Ciri are his destiny, his family and the loves of his life. This is the foundation of his journey for the rest of his life – and the rest of this show.”

The Netflix series is an adaptation of the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. It chronicles the adventures of Geralt of Rivia as he takes on armies of monsters while protecting Ciri (played by Freya Allan), a princess bound to him by destiny.

Season 3 of The Witcher will also be Cavill’s final season as Geralt, with Liam Hemsworth taking up the role in Season 4. Cavill chose to leave the show, according to the Deadline.

Following his turn in The Witcher, Cavill is set to star in and executive produce an adaptation of the popular game Warhammer 40,000. – The Vibes, April 27, 2023
