‘The Witcher’ Season 2 Script Image Teases A New Monster For Geralt To Fight, And A New Mystery To Solve
The Witcherhas no shortage of gruesome monsters or gruesome violence, but the second season of the hit Netflix fantasy series appears to offer up something that Geralt (Henry Cavill) has never seen before. Netflix has released a teaser image of a script page fromThe Witcherseason 2, describing a scene that perhaps introduces a new monster and a dangerous mystery for Geralt.The Witcherseason 2 brings back Cavill as Geralt,Freya Allanas Ciri, andAnya Chalotraas Yennefer, some time after the events of the season 1 finale, which saw all the (somewhat confusing) timelines converge with the meeting of Geralt and Ciri, his new ward after her family was dethroned and killed. The season will follow Geralt and Ciri as they return to Geralt’s home at Kaer Morehn and begin Ciri’s combat and magical training.
But inThe Witcherscript page released by Netflix, Ciri is nowhere to be found, and Geralt is back on his own again, hunting monsters as per usual. But there appears to be something bothering the witcher as he witnesses the violent killing of a merchant and his wife at the hands of an unseen monster, causing the merchant’s wife Meena (played by cast newcomerLesley Ewen) to flee to a mansion, screaming for help. It’s par for the course in the life of a witcher, but what’s unusual about this scene (which features plenty of the “flesh tearing” and “bones crackling” you’d expect fromThe Witcher) is the puzzling voice-over from Geralt, which sounds like he’s speaking to someone — or something — that may be following him.
