Henry Cavill shares the first images of Geralt from The Witcher season 2

After shutting down for a while due to the pandemic – a delay that caused a major role to have to be recast – the second season of Netflix's The Witcher has been back in production for over a month. There's no word on when the new season will be reaching Netflix, but now series star Henry Cavill has taken to his Instagram account to give fans a look at the first images of his character Geralt of Rivia in season 2.

"'It may turn out,’ said the white-haired man a moment later, ‘that their comrades or cronies may ask what befell these evil men. Tell them the Wolf bit them. The White Wolf. And add that they should keep glancing over their shoulders. One day they’ll look back and see the Wolf.’" – From the writings of Andrzej Sapkowski @WitcherNetflix #Witcher2

Yep, Geralt looks as badass as ever, and I look forward to seeing him back in action, fighting monsters and dropping F-bombs.

Inspired by a series of novels written by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher is an 

epic tale of fate and family — the story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.

In addition to Cavill, the returning cast members from season 1 include Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Freya Allan as Ciri, Joey Batey as Jaskier, MyAnna Buring as Tissaia, Tom Canton as Filavandrel, Lilly Cooper as Murta, Jeremy Crawford as Yarpen Zigrin, Eamon Farren as Cahir, Mahesh Jadu as Vilgefortz, Terrence Maynard as Artorius, Lars Mikkelsen as Stregobor, Mimi Ndiweni as Fringilla Vigo, Royce Pierreson as Istredd, Wilson Radjou-Pujalte as Dara, Anna Shaffer as Triss Merigold, and Therica Wilson Read as Sabrina.

Joining them are Carmel Laniado as a smart, sadistic teenager named Violet; Mecia Simson as Elven sorceress Francesca; Aisha Fabienne Ross as the sorceress Lydia; Agnes Born as Vereena, who is fragile and vulnerable on the outside but is capable of brutal violence; Kim Bodnia as Geralt's mentor Vesemir; and Kristofer Hivju as Nivellen, "a man cursed as a result of a terrible sin". 

Thue Ersted Rasmussen, Yasen Atour, and Paul Bullion were also set to play the Witchers of Kaer Morhern, with Rasmussen in the role of Eskel. Rasmussen ran into scheduling issues when production resumed, so he has had to drop out of the cast. Eskel will now be played by Basil Eidenbenz.
