As the Netflix series continues to adapt The Witcher books rather than the games, the episode titles above can be deciphered by looking to the pages of Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels. The first season was based largely around the short story collections The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, while the second seems to start delving into the meat of the main Witcher books. Based on sneak peaks, we know that Ciri will train at Kaer Morhen with Lambert. The bard Jaskier will also return. And we’ve seen casting of a variety of other characters from the series who weren’t seen in Season 1.
The eight episode run matches the series’ first season, which also had eight episodes. Season 1 originally premiered on December 20th, 2019, making it just shy of two full years between the seasons. This is owed largely to the pandemic that caught everyone off-guard in 2020 and delayed production.
WitcherCon gave us a quick look at Ciri and Lambert at Kaer Morhen.

We also got to see Jaskier with a new hair style. Looks like he grew his out during the pandemic too. Will he have a new hit song as catchy as “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher”?
Your wishes (and demands) for new Jaskier content have been granted. Here’s a preview of the bard in Season 2. #WitcherCon pic.twitter.com/E0UYw2qpaz

Additionally, Ciri and Yennefer’s paths may be on a collision course in Season 2.
