It’s been nearly four months since The Witcher's second season was dropped on Netflix. However, early signs point to fans possibly not having to wait as much for the third one, as it’s been officially announced that season 3 has started production already.

Shortly after second season premiered, The Witcher showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich commented on how Time of Contempt was a much easier book to adapt. Judging from the brief outline shared in the image, it will in fact be focused on Ciri's journey to Aretuza alongside Yennefer.
