The Witcher is finally returning to our screens after a year and a half away. Of course, it doesn’t feel like it’s been gone that long, since the spinoff Blood Origin aired just a few months ago. But the flagship Witcher show is returning for season 3 on June 29, with more episodes to follow on July 27.
This season will be bittersweet for many fans, as it’s Henry Cavill’s last time playing Geralt of Rivia before he goes off to star in Amazon Prime Video’s Warhammer 40,000 adaptation. The Hunger Games’ Liam Hemsworth is set to replace Cavill in season 4.
The Witcher season 3 release date
Season 3 of The Witcher will be released in two parts: Volume One on June 29 and Volume Two on July 27. After years of releasing entire seasons in big, daunting drops, Netflix is finally getting around to spacing out releases to generate more online buzz. We saw this in 2022, with the two-part release of Stranger Things season 4, and we hope to see this trend continue with more Netflix properties in the future.
The Witcher’s third season will be eight episodes long, but we don’t yet know how those eight episodes are divided between the two volumes.
The Witcher season 3 trailer
The long-awaited trailer for The Witcher’s third season is finally here. The previous teaser trailer didn’t give us a lot of new information, but this new trailer shows more action, blood, and morose conversations between Geralt and Jaskier on the nature of neutrality. Fun!
