With less than two weeks to go until The Witcher returns for its third season, a new clip was released during Netflix’s TUDUM event yesterday, which sees Yennefer of Vengerber (Anya Chalotra) and Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) coming to the aid of Cirilla of Cintra (Freya Allan) after she is ambushed by Jaskier (Joey Batey) and his friends, ensuing in a bloody battle; watch it below…
As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever.
