Netflix provided The Witcher fans with a Halloween treat – a new monster montage video, set to Monster Mash no less, that appears to give the briefest of glimpses at some of the horror’s Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia will have to face off against in its upcoming second season.
In Netflix’s video, which you can see below, we get a recap of some of the monsters that were featured in The Witcher’s first season. However, around 0:15 and 0:31, we get a look at a terrifying monster with many legs and three ominous looking skeletons, respectively.

This is another tease for season 2 and follows the reveal of new Nilfgaardian armour, a new look at Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Freya Allan as Ciri, and Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia.
The Witcher’s second season is set to premiere in 2021, but it’s important to note that the production of the Netflix series was put on hold due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Even though the wait may be long, fans of The Witcher will be happy to know that a third season has been all but confirmed following an appearance of The Witcher Season 3 (2020-2021) in the Writers Guild of America’s directories. With the delayed start of season 2 it may not make that 2021 window, but never say never.

In our review of the first season of The Witcher, we said “The Witcher’s first season is unconventional and messy. It’s failed by its convoluted structure, which ultimately restricts character growth, and prevents the show from having any true sense of depth. This makes for an unsatisfying big picture, but thankfully there are plenty of things to enjoy in its individual components.”
