With the Henry Cavill (Geralt), Anya Chalotra (Yennefer), and Freya Allan (Ciri)-starring second season of Netflix's The Witcher ready to hit the streaming service next month, the cast is starting to hit the press circuit for interviews and focus pieces. Not surprisingly, Cavill was the focus of a recent profile from The Hollywood Reporter where a whole range of topics was covered, from the talk of him being the next James Bond to what his thoughts would be on joining the MCU as Captain Britain. Now with all of that talk of other projects, fans of The Witcher might be a bit worried about the show's future and his involvement with it. Well, two brief but important pieces of intel were also there sitting pretty in the interview. First, that Cavill had recently signed a new deal reportedly paying him $1M+ per episode. But it was his response when asked about showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich's vision of running at least seven seasons to tell The Witcher story proper. "Absolutely," Cavill said in regards to the series whose lead role he actively pursued and auditioned for. "As long as we can keep telling great stories which honor [author Andrzej] Sapkowski's work."

Now here's your look at the official trailer & season overview for Netflix's The Witcher Season 2, premiering on December 17th:

Convinced Yennefer's life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent's kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.
