Worth Watching or Not
The Witcher season 1 had won the hearts of the fans. It received a good rating of 8.2/10 on IMDb. Fans were anxiously waiting for season 2. Season 2 is said to be a full adventure, action, fantasy, and mystery. Since season 1 received was loved by most of their viewers, season 2 is also anticipated to perform in the same way. Though the only trailer is released, we predict that the series will be worth watching.

Expected Plot
Nothing much about the plot was revealed by Netflix, but we have some information. Season 2 might pick from where season 1 ended. Season 2 might focus more on the life of Princess of Cintra “Ciri.” Yennefer might lose his life in a battle. Geralt of Rivia will bring Princess Cirilla to his childhood home Kaer Morhen.
