The Witcher Season 3: Unveiled The Title And Setting Of The First Episode Of The Netflix Series
The Witcher Season 3 is at the center of fans’ attention for the most varied reasons, the first of which is to be found in the fact that the third season will be the last season in which we will see Henry Cavill play the role of Geralt of Rivia. A farewell that will certainly mark a watershed, as well as a before and after, where the after will have the face of the new protagonist chosen to play Geralt, Liam Hemsworth. But beyond Cavill’s abandonment (who had a rather eventful autumn in terms of farewells), the third season of the fantasy series based on the Andrzej Sapkowski saga has a certain appeal in and of itself. Entertainment Weekly increases curiosity with the publication of the first page of the script of the first episode of The Witcher Season 3, which will be titled Shaerrawedd. A title that provides important previews on the road that Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer will take in this new chapter of the franchise.
What Important Indications About The Witcher Season 3 Come From The Title? Showrunner Lauren Hissrich Reveals It To Us
In The Witcher Season 3, Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer will soon visit Shaerrawedd, a place described in Sapkowski’s novel Blood of Elves. Shaerrawedd was an ancient elven palace located in the forests of Kaedwen and later destroyed. In Sapkowski’s work, Geralt and Ciri visit Shaerrawedd, discovering traces that the elves have visited the destroyed palace. The Witcher showrunner Lauren Hissrich told EW that both Geralt and Yennefer will tell the story of that place to Ciri and that “we will find that everyone has their own version of how historical events unfold”.
Hissrich also explained why the setting of Shaerrawedd is so crucial, primarily for understanding the character of Geralt. Shaerrawedd represents the beginning of Geralt’s narrative arc in The Witcher Season 3: that will be the place where we will understand in detail the thoughts and positions of the Witcher on neutrality and why he always wanted to be neutral. But in the third, things will have to change. At the end of the second season, we discovered that Ciri’s father is Emhyr van Emreis: a turning point that will put her at the center of the attention of different factions. To protect her, Geralt will have to abandon her belief in the need to be neutral. For now, The Witcher Season 3, written by Mike Ostroski and directed by Stephen Surjick, does not yet have a precise release date set for 2023.
