Geralt also has to keep Princess Cirilla safe from the people hunting her down and takes her to his house, Kaer Morhen. As the show moves forward it will unfold the twisted webs of destiny that bind Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer together.

The Witcher is based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Set on a fictional, medieval-inspired landmass known as the Continent, The Witcher explores the legend of Geralt of Rivia and Princess Ciri, who are linked to each other by destiny. The first season consisted of eight episodes and was released on Netflix in its entirety on December 20, 2019. It was based on The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, which are collections of short stories that precede the main Witcher saga. The second season will be based on the book Blood of Elves and the beginning of Time of Contempt.

During Netflix's TUDUM fan event, it was announced that The Witcher was renewed for season three ahead of season two's premiere. Netflix has also announced a prequel to the show titled The Witcher: Blood Origin that will be set in an elven world 1,200 years before the current timeline of the show. The prequel will tell a story lost to time, including the creation of the first prototype The Witcher and events that lead to the pivotal Conjunction of the Spheres, when the worlds of monsters, men and elves merged to become one.
