The Witcher's second foray into anime is here, and it arrives at a particularly interesting time for Netflix's franchise. Not only does it come after the mixed reception of spin-off series The Witcher: Blood Origin, but it also introduces viewers to their third on-screen Geralt of Rivia in six years, after Henry Cavill's exit and ahead of Liam Hemsworth's entrance as the White Wolf in season 4.
Of course, the latest Geralt will be no stranger for fans of the franchise as iconic voice actor Doug Cockle takes on the mantle, after voicing the monster hunter in The Witcher games. And thankfully too, as his iconic take on the character helps carry this potentially confusing addition into a satisfying new Witcher adventure that harks back to the live-action series' heyday.
