The Witcher is just one of those series expected to obtain an update this week as part of Netflix’s online event, but considering the hype surrounding it, there was little doubt they were planning to make fans wait too long as possible before making it it it their show. With references given to the upcoming Sandman adaptation, as well as the season updated on Locke & Key, Shadow and Bone, and The Umbrella Academy, it is currently The Witcher that everybody is seeking with eager anticipation.
The Witcher series relies on the novels by Polish writer Andrej Sapkowski, also began on Netflix in December 2019. The first time, which ran for eight episodes, was predicated on the particular publications The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, which can be both collections of short fiction that work as a prequel to the main story. The next season, which will also consist of eight episodes, was given the green light shortly after, with filming taking place as soon as was possible after the pandemic shutdown.
As we know that production is finished, and post-production can also be almost done, it would not be too much to expect some kind of trailer Friday, or perhaps that’s pushing too far. With this kind of occasion, there is always an expectation of a big end, and with no updates for so long, it would surely be a big way to finish the Geeked Week event. Meanwhile, the event has plenty to still look forward to in the next few days. Look out for the upgrades as soon as they become accessible.
