Volume 1, The Witcher’s third season has just arrived, but if you blitzed through Netflix’s latest offering, you know that it ends with a huge cliffhanger. Netflix split up The WitcherSeason 3 will be split into two seasons, as was done with another big TV hit. Stranger Things. Unfortunately, it’s going to be almost a month before volume 2 arrives on the streaming service.

Thankfully, we don’t have to wait a month for information about part 2 — a few things about the upcoming episodes have already been revealed. So here’s everything we know so far about The WitcherSeason 3 Volume 2.

When will part 2 of The Witcher Season 3 be released?

The Witcher’s next batch of episodes will release on July 27, giving fans almost a full month to wait between the first and second volumes.

The Witcher Season 3 has how many episodes?

Volume 1 has five episodes, and volume 2 will have three episodes, though we don’t know how long those installments will be. The second part is the third installment of Stranger Things season 4 featured episodes that were well over an hour long, and it’s possible the final The WitcherHenry Cavill’s episodes will be also longer than normal.

The Witcher Season 3 Volume 2: What is it about?

The second part of The Witcher Novel should be based on volume 2, if you follow the first half. Time of Contempt. But without spoiling anything too juicy, we’ll probably get the culmination of all the intrigue, backstabbing, and plotting that builds up during volume 1’s finale at Aratuza, and then the fallout that follows.

Is The Witcher season 3 Henry Cavill’s last season as Geralt?

Yep, sadly, Cavill’s time as Geralt will end after this last batch of season 3 episodes. Geralt’s role in season 4, which is likely to be a few years away, will be performed by Liam Hemsworth.

While we don’t know how the change will take place or what might be involved in the story, The Witcher executive producer Tomek Baginski told Yahoo UK that it will be lore-accurate and “very, very close to the meta ideas which are deeply embedded in the books, especially in book five.”
