Real and virtual fans attend 'The Witcher' London premiere

<p>While we are waiting for The Witcher season 2 to drop soon (December), Netflix has given greenlight to season 3 of the widely popular show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The announcement was made at a virtual fan event Tudum over the weekend.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Netflix’s The Witcher is the reimagined plot of a video game by the same name. It stars Henry Cavil as the Geralt of Rivia, the bane of supernatural beasties, in a story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.</p>

<p>Set to debut on December 17, The Witcher Season 2 will follow Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia who, convinced that Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) died at the gruesome Battle of Sodden, seeks to bring Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan) to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, Geralt must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.</p>
