The official trailer for Netflix‘s The Witcher Season 3 has finally arrived, showcasing a premiere date for the split season and what’s in store for Geralt (Henry Cavill) and, more specifically, Ciri (Freya Allan) this time around.
“As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it,” says the official synopsis. “Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where they hope to uncover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line – or risk losing each other forever.”
In the visuals above, we see Ciri getting her hands dirty as the conflict approaches. As the trailer notes, “If war is coming, there is no hiding her from it.” We see her magical prowess on display and some stylized sword fighting from Geralt. We also see old pals Geralt and Jaskier (Joey Batey) banter alongside some Geralt and Yennefer.
The Witcher also stars Myanna Buring as Tissaia, Eamon Farren as Cahir, Mimî M Khayisa as Fringilla, Royce Pierreson as Istredd, Anna Shaffer as Triss Merigold, Mecia Simson as Francesca, and Tom Canton as Filavandrel.
