Ready for season two of The Witcher?
The entire eight-episode second season of The Witcher hits Netflix on Friday, with Henry Cavill returning as Geralt of Rivera and plenty more monstery, magicy mayhem. Here's how to prep.
When will The Witcher season two drop?
You've watched the first season already on Netflix, yes? If not, it's only eight episodes — call in sick to work for one lousy day and you can binge your way right through to season 2. And then take another day on Friday, because Netflix is dropping all eight episodes on Friday.
The show drops at midnight PT, 3 am ET, so either stay up late or get up early if you want to be among the first viewers.
