Even though Season 2 of Netflix's The Witcher has yet to be released, fans are already looking forward to Season 3. Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich was recently asked about the season and teased the exciting things that both book fans and show fans can look forward to.

Speaking at a panel at Lucca Comic & Games, Hissrich was asked about what audiences can expect. After explaining that she can't divulge too much about the next season, the show will have a lot in store. "The writers are back in Los Angeles working diligently," she said. She went on to explain, "It's a really fun season and it follows a particular book really closely. It has a lot of action, some death."

Though it is uncertain which book in Andrzej Sapkowski's saga The Witcher Season 3 will follow, it is likely Time of Contempt and Baptism of Fire. The former is already being adapted in part in Season 2, though the full extent of the adaptation is yet unknown. Time of Contempt sees Ciri continue her training as a sorceress, a path she began in Blood of Elves. It's one she will also begin in Season 2 of The Witcher, as shown in the most recent trailer.

There are certain elements from Sapkowski's saga that the Netflix series will bring forward in its adaptation of the story. It was recently reported that a major revelation involving Ciri's parentage would be brought back in the show, likely for practical reasons. It is therefore difficult to determine how closely, as Hissrich suggested, The Witcher Season 3 will follow the novels. It's also worth noting that reports from the set, as well as leaked photos, have revealed several major deviations from the source material for Season 2, including a major death that did not occur in Blood of Elves -- which the series adapts -- a significant change to Francesca Findabair and much more.

The Witcher Season 3 was officially announced at Netflix's TUDUM event, which also saw the announcement of a family-friendly Witcher project and a second anime project, following the success of The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.

The concept of a family-friendly project appeared to divide the fanbase, but Hissrich defended it, explaining on social media, "The Witcher is a dark, mature universe. I'd go further. It's controversial. Political. A microcosm of humanity, for all its goodness and evil... But I believe -- STRONGLY believe -- that the moral dilemmas and ethical grayness that adults love in this universe... can be extrapolated to stories that kids in this chaotic world desperately need, and could benefit from."

The Witcher Season 2 is scheduled to be released on Dec. 17.
