The Witcher: First Look at Anya Chalotra as Yennefer in Season 2

Netflix has revealed the first official look Anya Chalotra as Yennefer in The Witcher Season 2. The two new photos were shared to The Witcher's official Twitter account on Wednesday in a tweet that teases Yen's return in the upcoming season. The verse accompanying the first-look images reads: "She used her full might, and the battlefield burned. Then she vanished from sight, but Yen will return." The photos were also posted on the show's official Instagram page, with a caption to assure fans that Yennefer is "out there somewhere." The last time that we saw Yennefer, she had unleashed her fire and roasted most of the Nilfgaardian troops at The Battle of Sodden Hill. Now she appears to be paying the price for her actions, as her face is bloodied and her hands are bound in her Season 2 character photos. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/19/the-witcher-how-magic-works-for-geralt-and-yennefer-ign-first"] Yennefer's storyline in Season 1 spanned about 70 years, and even though she had her time at court and had many lovers, she ultimately found that her life was unfulfilled. Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich previously told IGN that she intended to deal with all of the "messy stuff" that the character experiences before her transformation. The second season of The Witcher will finally see all of the characters exist on the "same timeline," with the show's "controversial" multi-timeline format being dropped in favour of a more streamlined narrative structure. With this news, a lot of fans are now looking forward to seeing how Yennefer's storyline could potentially intersect with Geralt and Ciri's stories.

In their individual character photos, we glimpsed Henry Cavill's Geralt suited up in his new armour ahead of any training sessions that he might be having with Freya Allan's Ciri, who looked ready for combat in her official character snaps. We'll catch up with all of the characters when The Witcher Season 2 premieres in 2021. Filming resumed on The Witcher's highly anticipated second season in August following a five-month production shutdown as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Netflix is currently also working on The Witcher: Blood Origin and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Adele Ankers is a Freelance Entertainment Journalist.
