Everyone's favorite handsome geek Henry Cavill returns as Geralt in the highly anticipated second season of The Witcher, rumored to feature Wild Hunt. The first season of the Netflix adaptation took a while to find its place, often skipping back in time without any signage. We hope Season 2 is a bit simpler now that the characters have caught up.
