So, what’s this second season about? Here’s the official synopsis…
Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows — his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.
Oh, and Netflix also kindly provided a list of episode titles for Season 2 – perhaps you hardcore Witcher can glean some information from these.

Oh, and here’s a new look at Jaskier (Joey Batey) in his somewhat-more-colorful Season 2 look.
Ah, but it’s not all about the Netflix series. WitcherCon also provided some tidbits for fans of the games, as CDPR’s Philipp Weber and Blazej Augustynek discuss some details of how they adapted the books and created Geralt’s world.
CDPR has also let slip that the upcoming The Witcher 3 Complete Edition will be getting some DLC inspired by the Netflix series.
