Given the epic cliffhanger of "The Witcher" Season 2, fans should be eagerly awaiting "The Witcher" Season 3, but I have bad news about that. No, not really. We know that "The Witcher" will be back for another glorious season. [In fact, Netflix seems committed to the wide world of The Witcher, with a prequel series "Blood Origins" starring Michelle Yeoh and a Witcher children's show in the works. But just as "Stranger Things" Season 4 was a long time coming, it will be a while before we know what's next for Geralt, Sheli, and the rest of the characters.

So what do we know about the next season, in which Siri is expected to continue to elude the Wild Hunt? Let's take a quick look.

In September, on Netflix TUDUM (Nintendo Direct for Netflix), the streaming service revealed that The Witcher season 3 has been greenlit. The announcement also revealed that a second animated-style Witcher movie is in the works, and that the aforementioned family-friendly Witcher show is in development.

Netflix did not reveal anything about when Witcher season 3 is scheduled to be released. Speaking of which,

it will likely take a while. According to showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich (speaking to our sister site TechRadar), work on the script for The Witcher season 3 has only just finished. Hissrich also said that the team's "creative process has just begun," suggesting that Season 3 could be a year away.

Actually, that wouldn't be a shock; while the two data sets are not a large sample size, Netflix seems to love The Witcher's December release. Season 2 was released on December 17, 2021, and Season 1 on December 20, 2019.

However, Hissrich has no idea when major filming will be finished. Now that the script is almost written, Hisrich explained that they cannot jump into filming, saying, "Now that we have the script, we'll get the director and actors back on board to really dig deep, look back, and make sure it's a perfect season."

Of course, we need to sound a spoiler warning here. Because, of course, the character deaths and story points in The Witcher Season 2 will affect The Witcher Season 3.

Henry Cavill returns as Geralt, Freya Allan continues as Siri, and Anya Charotra reprises her role as Yenefer.

The Witcher season 2 finale will also see Bert Edwards reprise his role as Emperor Emhil Var Emreis of Nilfgaard. Formerly known as Duny and now as White Flame, Emhil will hunt Siri.

But he is not the only one looking for her. Cathy Clare (played by Philippa Eilhart) and Graham McTavish (played by Sigismund Dijkstra) also return as a team to hunt Siri.

We can also look forward to Metia Simson as Francesca Findabear. Her newborn has just been killed on Emhail's orders, and she knows that Siri has Elder blood in her veins. Mahesh Jadu returns as Wilgeforz.

What we do know for sure, however, is the original story of The Witcher Season 3. In the aforementioned interview, Hissrich said that he is drawing from the second novel in the Witcher saga, Time of Contempt, for Season 3.

Siri is of Eldar blood and is revealed to be the descendant of an Elven sorceress named Lara Dren, who is targeted by everyone because of her extremely strong magical powers.

In "The Witcher" Season 3, Emhail, the biggest threat in the film, is the biggest bad guy. He will become more dangerous in the future. Nevertheless, escaping from the Wild Hunt is another major challenge.

Fortunately, the solidarity of Gerard and Jenefer will continue to protect Siri.

Oh, and we're also dealing with multiverse theory. Now that the power of the monolith surrounding the continent has been revealed as a gateway to other regions, it is speculated that the remnants of these conjunctions will become important in the future.
