Season 3 of The Witcher is set to release in the summer of 2023. During its online-only Tudum 2022 event, Netflix released a teaser for the Henry Cavill-directed dark fantasy series, featuring Geralt’s broken locket – including the fragments take the form of a swallow and a star. Season 3 follows Geralt’s journey to the Fortress of Aretuza, as he once again escorts Ciri of Cintra (Freya Allan), who has revealed that the ancient’s blood runs through his veins. Anya Chalotra returns to play Yennefer the witch, who has a complicated relationship with him.
Plot details for The Witcher season 3 are vague, but hints from the teaser image indicate that this chapter will see the trio working together, to protect Ciri from harm. For the uninitiated, the swallow symbol translates to Zireael, which is an old gwyhyr sword forged by gnomes in Tir Tochair – given to Ciri as a gift. Meanwhile, the upside-down star symbol is obsidian, which is worn by Yennefer in both the Netflix series and the CD Projekt Red video games.

In season 2, Geralt (Cavill) discovered that Ciri had otherworldly powers, far beyond the knowledge of a monster hunter. Therefore, he seeks the help of ex-lover Yennefer, to understand his complexities and how she could master him to avoid danger. But upon reaching the lands of Aretuza, the group realizes they have landed on a battlefield, brimming with political corruption, dark magic, and betrayal.

Filming for The Witcher season 3 began in April, with Netflix revealing its roster of four directors. This includes Stephen Surjik (The Umbrella Academy), Gandja Monteiro (Brand New Cherry Flavor), Loni Peristere (American Horror Story) and Bola Ogun (Lucifer).
Everyone besides Surjik – who directed the first two episodes of The Witcher season 2 – is new to the world of The Witcher. Based on past trends and the fact that there are four directors, we could assume that each director will direct two episodes each, in the coming season. The Witcher season 3 also adds new cast members Meng’er Zhang (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and Robbie Amell (The Babysitter).
The Witcher 3 is set to release in summer 2023, exclusively on Netflix. Be careful, it’s American summer, not Indian.
