'The Witcher Season 2' Twitter Review: Henry Cavill led Netflix drama leaves fans amazed

The Witcher is back with its second instalment, and ardent fans are already binge-watching the Henry Cavill led fantasy drama while also pouring in raving reviews. The Netflix series is based on the books with the same name and live-action game and its highly twisted plot, as well as incredible VFX, make it the go-to choice for many. Created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, The Witcher explores the legend of Geralt of Rivia and Princess Ciri, who are destined to stick together. 

Apart from Cavill, it stars Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra in pivotal roles. The second season has faced various postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as Cavill's leg injury a year ago. Fans also got a spinoff animated series on Netflix titled The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, which centred on another character Vesemir (Kim Bodnia). Hours after the season's release, take a look at what fans have to say.
