A release date hasn’t been given, and it’s expected that it’ll be some time away. The next season of the Witcher isn’t scheduled to air until 2022.
No doubt, Netflix will be looking to see what other popular video game franchises they can tap into, with The Witcher proving to be one of the most successful franchises to launch on Netflix.
