The Witcher season 2 script page tells of a monster attack and snowy locale

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

The production of The Witcher season 2 has hit a lot of speed bumps along the way – the pandemic shutdown, crew members testing positive for COVID-19, star Henry Cavill injuring his leg – but the show is still moving toward a 2021 debut on the Netflix streaming service. When it does arrive, it's sure to have a lot of cool creature action just like the first season did, and a page from a season 2 script has been posted online to tease one of the horrific moments we'll be seeing.

Shared on Twitter, this script page features a scene in which a family is attacked by a mysterious thing in a snowy mountain village.

Inspired by a series of novels written by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher stars Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. The show 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.

Season 2 has the following synopsis: 

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.

Cavill is joined in the cast by fellow returning cast members 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.

The new season will be adding 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; Kristofer Hivju as Nivellen, "a man cursed as a result of a terrible sin"; Paul Bullion as witcher Lambert; Yasen Atour as witcher Coen; and Basil Eidenbenz as witcher Eskel, a friend from Geralt's youth.
