Netflix celebrated Halloween by releasing a fun promo for their series The Witcher that has a take on the classic song "Monster Mash" playing over images of monster-fighting action from the show. Season 2 of The Witcher is currently in production, and within this promo Netflix also included quick glimpses of a couple creatures we can expect to see when the new episodes arrive sometime next year.
The Witcher's "Monster Mash" promo is embedded above. "See the new Witcher season 2 monsters 15 seconds and 30 seconds in."
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.
Here's the synopsis for season 2:
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.
The series stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Freya Allan as Princess Cirilla, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg, 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.
