All in all, Netflix seems to have found its most successful universe with the different adaptations of The Witcher, especially with the first season of the new real action series. At the moment there is no more information about the project, although it is expected to reach Netflix before the premiere of the second season, scheduled for 2021 on a date yet to be determined.
The Witcher, the real action series, has up to seven seasons planned. "The series team has drawn a plot map for seven seasons and has thought about how to make a story that catches the audience for several years," says the showrunner. Even so, the author herself also warned of something that many of you may have noticed during the last episodes, and that is "that does not mean that all the characters will survive and reach the end …".
