The Witcher Season 3 has been a thrilling ride so far, with its action-packed episodes and dramatic plot twists.
As we eagerly await the second part of the season, let's delve into some predictions and revelations that might unfold.
Kills and Thrills
The first part of Season 3 has been nothing short of exhilarating. With numerous deaths witnessed in just the first five episodes, the showrunners have hinted that the best is yet to come. A shocking death of a major character is in store, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. However, rest assured that the central characters - Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, and Jaskier - are safe.
Journeys and Crushes
Ciri, the lion cub of Cintra, has been a major target for many factions of the continent. Her character has become more prominent with each season, and there's an episode entirely focused on her character. Ciri is still learning how to deal with the power of chaos and figuring out who she wants to be.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Ciri's journey is her unexpected crush. The girl who stole her money in episode 3 seems to be her love interest. This is a deviation from the novel "Time of Contempt", where Ciri only met her crush after her desert adventures. The showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, has confirmed that the show will be exploring Ciri's sexuality, but with a different approach than the source material.
The Major Enemy
The end of Season 2 revealed that the Emperor of Nilfgaard is none other than Ciri's real father. While he poses a great threat to every kingdom of the continent, he seems to genuinely care about Ciri. His plans for the princess are quite simple so far - he wants Ciri beside him and for her to assume her rightful place on the throne. However, as the new catchy song goes, nothing is as it seems in The Witcher.
Hot Girl Summer
Talk of Jaskier being in love with Geralt has been swirling since the premiere of the show. However, an unexpected love story unfolds between Jaskier and Prince Radovid. This subplot, described by Joey Beatty as Jaskier's "hot girl summer", promises to have ripple effects for a very long time.
The Casting Switch
One of the biggest shocks of the season was the news that Henry Cavill would be leaving the show after Season 3, with Liam Hemsworth stepping into the role of the titular Witcher. The show assures a seamless transition, potentially explaining Geralt's new look with a cross-dimensional journey. Can Hemsworth live up to Cavill's portrayal? We're eagerly awaiting Season 4 to find out!
With an abundance of action, romance, and surprising moments, Season 3 Volume 2 promises to be an exhilarating ride. As we dive deeper into the mesmerizing world of The Witcher, we can't help but speculate about the wild theories and predictions that might come true.
