While audiences eagerly wait for season two of Netflix’s The Witcher, showrunner Lauren Hissrich has revealed the two scenes she regretted cutting from season one.
In an interview with Pure Fandom, Hissrich revealed the two deleted scenes that she regretted cutting included “a lovely scene” between Yennefer, Fringilla, and Sabrina, and the second scene involving Yennefer meeting a young Triss.
“We had a lovely scene in Episode 103 where Yennefer, Fringilla, and Sabrina all discussed how they felt about their transformations, and looking back, I wish we could have kept it,” said Hissrich. “It was such a gorgeous example of female friendship, and it also would have served to ground Fringilla a bit more before she joined Nilfgaard. We also filmed a scene of Yen meeting a very young Triss, who’d just arrived at Aretuza; it served to show how far Yennefer had come in her years at Aretuza and created a sense of mentorship between these two sorceresses. Looking ahead at some stories unfolding in season two, I wish we still had those scenes! But I’m proud of what we accomplished in the time we had.”
While these scenes don’t sound too detrimental to the story, they clearly offered more character development for the sorceresses in the first season.
