It’s a new day, which means two new images from Netflix’sThe WitcherSeason 2 have arrived. The new images focus on Ciri, played byFreya Allan, and see the young protagonist going from meek to bold in the coming season. These new images of Ciri have debuted just one day after the new Season 2 images ofHenry Cavillas Geralt of Rivia.
The new photos of Ciri tease an exciting character development as the once-sheltered princess on the run in Season 1 transforms into a tough, confident warrior in Season 2. Ciri’s untapped magical potential was teased in the first season, but we never got to see her in full control of that power. As these images confirm, Ciri’s Season 2 will likely focus on her development as a warrior with magical abilities, molded in the image of her father figure, Geralt.
The Witcheris adapted from the fantasy book series of the same name written byAndrezj Sapkowski. This is the second time Sapkowski’s series has been adapted in addition to CD Projekt Red’s series ofThe Witchervideo games. Season 2 ofThe Witcheris going toditch those multiple timelines, streamlining so it can focus on giving us more of Geralt’s backstory, tracing Ciri’s development as a fighter, and showing us how Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) will return following her huge sacrifice at the Battle of Sodden Hill at the end of Season 1.
The WitcherSeason 2 is expected to premiere on Netflix in 2021. Check out the newest Season 2 images below and, as hinted earlier this week, keep your eyes peeled for even more new images in the coming days. For more, find out what new movies and TV shows arecoming to Netflix in October.

Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden Hill, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen.
