Why The Wild Hunt Wants Ciri (& What It Means For Witcher Season 3)
After rumors and speculation about its introduction in The Witcher season 2, the Wild Hunt is now part of this universe and it's going after Ciri – but why and what does this mean for season 3? Created by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher is a series of novels and short stories that became widely popular when they were adapted to video games, and after being adapted into a movie and a TV series in Poland in 2001 and 2002, it finally got its first English language adaptation in 2019 thanks to Netflix, quickly becoming one of the streaming giant’s most popular and successful TV shows.
Netflix’s The Witcher is based on the books, but its approach to these is a loose one, making major changes to the arcs of its main characters, adding new ones, and even bringing some that used to be exclusive to the video games. The series follows three different characters (Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Ciri), whose paths converged at the end of season 1 after following their stories through different places and points in time. The Witcher season 2 had a linear and clearer narrative and in addition to continuing the stories of the aforementioned characters, it introduced new ones, among those the Wild Hunt, who made a surprise appearance at the end of the season.
