Netflix has announced that the highly anticipated third season of “The Witcher” will be released this summer, but with a twist. The streaming giant is splitting the season into two parts, with the first half premiering on June 29, and the second half on July 27.
This season will also mark the end of an era, as it is the last time we will see Henry Cavill as Geralt. Liam Hemsworth is set to take over the role after this season.
To add to the excitement, Netflix has released a new minute-long teaser for the upcoming season. The third season promises to be action-packed as Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding while competing with monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent, all of whom are vying to capture her. Yennefer is entrusted with Ciri’s magical training and leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where they find themselves amidst political corruption, dark magic, and treachery.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Netflix has split a season into two parts. Last summer, the streaming service split the fourth season of “Stranger Things” into two parts. Earlier this year, the same strategy was employed for the fourth season of “You.”
Traditionally, Netflix has been known for releasing entire seasons at once, allowing viewers to binge-watch their favorite shows. However, the company is now adopting a new strategy that aims to spread the buzz around its shows over at least a month, rather than a weekend.
With the highly anticipated third season of “The Witcher” set to be released in two parts, fans can expect an action-packed, thrilling ride with a few surprises along the way. So mark your calendars for June 29 and July 27 and get ready to embark on a journey with Geralt and Ciri before bidding farewell to Henry Cavill in this iconic role.
