The Witcher season 2 release time - here's when the Netflix series goes live

We tend to stick to actual videogames here at PCGamesN - we let our friends at The Digital Fix handle the broader entertainment coverage. But if you're a fan of PC gaming, there's a pretty good chance you're looking forward to The Witcher season two on Netflix, even though it's technically based on the book series. So let's break down when you can expect The Witcher season two release time.

The Witcher season two is expected to release on Friday, December 17 at 12:01am PST / 3:01am EST / 8:01am GMT. This launch time has not officially been confirmed, but Netflix pretty much always launches its new shows at midnight Pacific time on the release date. With The Witcher season two release date set for December 17, that makes the release time pretty clear.

The Witcher season two is made up of eight episodes, so you can expect the show to take up about eight hours of your weekend. The Witcher season three has already been confirmed, so you can look forward to whatever adventures Geralt and the gang get up to here to be continued in the future.

The next Witcher anime is "way, way, way in the future", and probably still won't be anime

Okay, look. Netflix is lying to you. Netflix keeps calling things that are absolutely not anime "anime". Please scroll down if you would like my full rant on this topic. For now, though, the thing you're here to learn about is the new animated Witcher film, following up on The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. The next movie was briefly announced months ago, but it's still a long way off.

Producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich tells Entertainment Weekly that the film "way, way, way in the future", and there's no clear release date, even internally, because "we're just now getting started on it". As for the direction of the film, however, Hissrich says that "I hope that the anime [sic] is a little bit more of a standalone project that will bring new eyes onto the franchise but also really be able to stand out there on its own". The movie will be written by a pair of writers who have "been on the staff from the beginning".

Nightmare of the Wolf was produced by Studio Mir, the South Korean animation house responsible for such excellent productions as The Legend of Korra and Netflix's own Voltron series. It's a great studio. It does not make anime.

Netflix's Witcher Season 2 debuts a new trailer full of beasts and battles

"I've lived through three supposed end of days," a casual Geralt of Rivia remarks to a boar-man sitting in a pub in the new trailer for Netflix's The Witcher Season 2. "It's all horseshit." He's probably right, of course, but that doesn't seem to be getting in the way of the second season of the RPG game's TV adaptation dialing up the action and upping the stakes for our favourite mutant monster hunter and his pals.

The new trailer has the tagline "Destiny is a beast," and there are plenty of beasts on parade. One shot shows a bat-winged demon flying in the distance as Geralt strides into a still pond, while later on, the Witcher is assaulted by a huge vampire bat. In the snowy woods, Geralt and Ciri face off against a powerful Leshen that sends root-like tendrils toward them under the ground.

So we're going to be seeing more monsters, which is always fun. Geralt and Yennefer also demonstrate some of their fearsome powers: Geralt makes liberal use of the Quen and Aard signs, while Yenn is clearly still wrestling with her own developing abilities as a sorceress.
