With respect to Geralt and Ciri, they have at long last discovered one another, welcoming each practically like a dad would a little girl. In a puzzling new development, Ciri asked Geralt who Yennefer is, in spite of not really meeting her.
Where do Geralt and Ciri go next?

On account of the law of shock, and the demise of her folks, Geralt is presently the supportive dad of Ciri. The Nilfgaard armed force is as yet a gigantic danger and with spies ceaselessly chasing Ciri, Geralt will take her to the most secure spot he knows, Kaer Morhen, the fortress of the Witchers.
On account of her elvish blood, Ciri is extraordinarily talented with enchantment, ideal for killing beasts. Geralt will probably start her preparation to turn into a Witcher, much such as himself. Ciri’s preparation would be an overwhelming and troublesome procedure, yet her gifts with enchantment joined with Witcher preparing would make her an extraordinarily solid soldier, enabling her to secure herself as well as other people.
Where is Yennefer?
In the wake of seeing the passing of numerous mages, both Tissaia de Vries and Yennefer were a portion of the couple of left alive from the fight with Nilfgaard. Yennefer was advised by Tissaia to let her “bedlam detonate”, paying attention to her, Yennefer released damnation upon the Nilfgaardians, utilizing illegal fire enchantment to destroy anybody that approached. She effectively repulsed the Nilfgaard power, yet in doing so bafflingly vanished, leaving Tissaia confounded and worried about her whereabouts.
As a unimaginably ground-breaking and skilled Mage, Yennefer isn’t dead. It’s indistinct where she may have vanished as well, yet Yennefer would probably have portalled herself away from the front line.
Because of Geralt’s desire, we can hope to see the pair rejoin some point in the subsequent season. Also the way that with Ciri’s mystical potential, who better to show her how to utilize genuine enchantment than one of the most capable mages alive.
Nilfgaard and the Northern Kingdoms go to war
It’s muddled what number of Nilfgaardians were slaughtered in the Battle of Sodden, however it’s away from noteworthy measure of men were killed by the mages of Aretuza. Nilfgaard will at present try to vanquish the Northern Kingdoms, yet after huge misfortunes will battle to proceed with their crusade.
The first of the Northern Kingdoms to show up was King Foltest of Temeria. Regardless of not participating in the real battle itself, from a separation, Foltest and his military could see the turmoil resulting from the battle among Nilfgaard and the mages. With Nilfgaard enduring tremendous misfortunes, it would be the ideal time for Temeria to counter-assault the Nilfgaardian battle.
What will happen to the mages of Aretuza?
At extraordinary penance, the mages of Aretuza held the Nilfgaardian armed force under control. In any case, with the institute losing such a lot of incredible mages, and with Yennefer out of the picture, there are not many staying to stop a potential Nilfgaard assault on Aretuza.
With some mages previously abandoning to Nilfgaard, there’s potential for an overthrow to happen that could bring about the annihilation of Aretuza or at any rate, vulnerable mages joining Nilfgaard.
Where is Jaskier?
The loveable poet Jaskier was continually pushing himself into difficulty, particularly around Geralt. During the time the pair have regularly made a trip together just to leave ways, at exactly that point to rejoin years after the fact to travel once more. Jaskier will be out there some place charming the women of the court into his bed, and stumbling into difficulty all the while.

What showrunner Lauren S Hissrich had to say
‘Gravemaster’ from Redanian Intelligence got the opportunity to meet with Lauren S Hissrich, the showrunner of The Witcher. In the meeting, she had the option to explain where the story would be going for Geralt and Ciri, and even Jaskier.
While talking about Geralt and Ciri:
True to form from the adventure, Ciri truly becomes the dominant focal point in season two. The entire world is after her, and she needs to discover security and rest with Geralt (and in the long run, Yennefer). Issue is, they’re finished outsiders. She doesn’t know Geralt, doesn’t perceive any reason why she ought to naturally confide in him, and truly doesn’t adore when he begins settling on critical choices throughout her life particularly when she’s despite everything grieving the loss of her grandma in Cintra. As far as concerns him, Geralt obediently needs to ensure Ciri, yet in addition knows nothing about being a father, and absolutely doesn’t have the foggiest idea how to offset that with the need to keep carrying out his responsibility. There’s some satire in how these two meet up and in the end bond, yet that gives a false representation of a more profound reflection on becoming a family.
Jaskier will likewise get his opportunity to excel in the second period of The Witcher:
Indeed! One of my preferred minutes with Jaskier is from Episode 106, when he and Geralt are perched on the precipice’s edge, and he says “I’m simply contemplating what satisfies me.” You have this character who has truly connected himself to the coattails of our Witcher, so as to stir up material for tunes. Yet, what occurs rather is… he finds a companion. Jaskier begins to consider what he needs and needs on the planet, and in season two, we’ll see him start to find it.

The two books are a phenomenal perused and antecedents to the ‘official’ beginning of The Witcher Saga.

Can we expect to see further seasons of The Witcher on Netflix?
On the off chance that the arrangement showrunner, Lauren S. Hissrich, has anything to state about it, The Witcher will be on Netflix for an exceptionally lengthy timespan.
In a meeting with inverse.com’s Just Lunning, Lauren S. Hissrich examined the chance of future periods of The Witcher;
I love that the statement around “seven seasons” got so rapidly by the press. I swear in another meeting, I stated, “I could compose this arrangement for a long time.” It’s not that I simply don’t see how numbers work, there is so much material, I accept that we could compose until the end of time.
When gotten some information about the quantity of seasons possibly going past the books, Hissrich had the accompanying to state:
It’s not my goal to go past the books. We’re doing a lot of kind of fun investigation of things that are in the books as of now. We’re attempting to add to the legend. You know, by and large, creators end things when they sense that they ought to be finished. We would respect that too.
The meeting was extraordinarily inciteful and from the showrunner’s answers, you can tell that The Witcher is in the best hands.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the Original arrangement likewise has an unobtrusive crowd score of 92%, unmistakably exhibiting that endorsers delighted in the principal season.
Tragically, we currently need to examine the pundits.

A few pundits have tragically not tried to watch the whole season, figuring a feeling on the main scene alone, which has brought about one of the most noticeably awful audits we’ve at any point perused. This survey itself got a reaction from arrangement maker and showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich:
Many people have sweetly written me, upset about the #Witcher reviews. Know this:
Who do I care about? “Professional” critics who watched one episode and skipped ahead? Or REAL fans who watched all eight in one day, and are starting their rewatch?
I am fucking THRILLED.😉❤️

Different pundits have taken to contrasting The Witcher with that of Game of Thrones, yet in the wake of viewing the arrangement ourselves we would contend that The Witcher isn’t the following Game of Thrones and rather ought to be looked as the absolute first The Witcher.
There will be a ton of weight for Netflix to convey on the second period of The Witcher, however in the event that it’s in any way similar to the principal, at that point we can hardly wait.
