Season 1 of Netflix's The Witcher ended with Geralt of Rivia uniting with his child surprise, Ciri, despite his best efforts to defy destiny. Thus far the two are essentially strangers, and despite their emotional unification, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich has explained that the familial relationship that follows will not be without its troubles.

In an interview with TheWrap, Hissrich explained that Geralt and Ciri are very different, "They are the most unexpected family you can imagine. You have a witcher whose sole job is to kill things for money and you have a little girl who is trying to escape her past." She then revealed, "One of the most fun things we get to explore in Season 2 now is how they get to change and shift each other," going on to remind audiences of their different personalities before stating, "We get to throw that all in a blender and see what happens when two people who are completely different have to be forced together in circumstances."

She then teased, "It's really fun. It's not always pretty. They will argue. They will fight. It will be two strangers coming together for the first time and being told, 'Nope, you're gonna be together forever,'" before concluding that it is through this coarse path that they will create a father-daughter bond.

Previous reports indicate that much of Season 2 will adapt Andrzej Sapkowski's Blood of Elves, which sees Ciri undergo unforgiving training with the help of Geralt and the other witchers of Kaer Morhen: Vesemir, Coën, Lambert and Eskel. These characters will appear in the series and have already been cast.

Season 2 began filming in February before production was halted due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Witcher is scheduled to resume filming on Aug. 3, before airing in 2021.

The Witcher stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg, Freya Allan as Ciri and Joey Batey as Jaskier. Season 1 is now available on Netflix.
