Work on season two of the hit Netflix fantasy series is already behind schedule, with production having originally been halted at the beginning of the first lockdown back in March.

It was originally hoped that the series would be released at the end of 2020, exactly a year after the launch of season one, but it now seems inevitable the next instalment won't arrive until 2021 – although an official release date has not been announced.
The series will see Cavill return to play Geralt of Rivia, the character made famous by Andrzej Sapkowski's novels and the hugely successful gaming franchise of the same name.
He will once again join forces with Princess Ciri (Freya Allen) and Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra), taking Ciri to his childhood home of Kaer Morhen, while the kings, elves, humans and demons of The Continent all strive for greater power.
The Witcher season 1 is streaming now on Netflix. You can order the novels on Amazon. Check out our lists of the best series on Netflix and the best movies on Netflix, or see what else is on with our TV Guide.
