Spoilers for 'The Witcher' Season 2 Episode 1
One of the most-watched Netflix original series, ‘The Witcher’, is back with Season 2 and the stakes are much higher this time around. The first edition ended with a massive cliff-hanger and made everyone wonder if Yeneffer (Anya Chalotra) is still alive or not after the epic battle between the North and Nilfgaard. Apart from that, we also saw Geralt (Henry Cavill) finally meeting Ciri (Freya Allen). They embrace each other and the season came to an end.
As far as Season 2 is concerned, the newest edition starts with Geralt and Freya continuing their journey. They finally find a place for themselves and enter the village. However, Geralt (Cavill) feels that there is something wrong with the place because there are no guards at the gates and not even barking dogs. So, he takes Ciri (Allen) to a friend’s house. However, his friend, Nivellen, has changed a lot due to a curse and turned into a monster. He takes him into his house and he is full of magic tricks.

A few moments later, Ciri, while sleeping, encounters a mysterious lady and asks who she is. The mysterious lady talks to her and says that she has never seen someone like her. She also reveals that she knows who Geralt is and what does he do. Ciri knows that the mysterious woman is different and Nivellen is trying to hide her from Geralt so that he doesn’t kill her. On the other hand, Geralt and Nivellen play a drinking game to talk about things that they have been hiding from each other. Geralt loses because of Nivellen’s magic tricks and believes he is hiding something important from him.
When the game ends, Geralt feels the presence of someone and wakes Ciri, telling her to reach for Roach, his horse. He consumes the ‘Witcher Potion’ and searches for the Bruxa, a higher vampire. Soon, he finds Bruxa in Nivellen’s room and moves forward in order to kill her. But Bruxa attacks him and pins him to the wall. However, Geralt counterattacks and sends her out of the castle. An epic fight sequence takes place between Geralt and the Bruxa. The fight ends with Geralt injuring Bruxa and pinning her to the ground. Bruxa gets up and uses Ciri as a human shield to get safely out of there.
Shockingly, Bruxa is attacked from behind by Nivellen and when we thought that she must have died, she doesn’t. She tells Nivellen that she loves him and tries to bite him, but Geralt uses his sword to take her head separated from her body.
As soon as she dies, the curse on Nivellen is lifted and he returns to his original human form. The first episode had all the ingredients of being one of the best from the franchise and surely makes us realize how thrilling Season 2 is going to be.
‘The Witcher’ Season 2 is currently streaming on Netflix.
