Now that The Witcher season 2 is officially here, it's apparently time to think about season 3 for Henry Cavill and the gang. The actor, who plays Geralt in the Netflix original series, already has some ideas for where the show could go in season 3, and he'd like to see it take a page out of The Witcher video game by visiting Toussaint.
While The Witcher Netflix series has made it very clear that it's based on the books more than the video games, it appears that everyone involved with the show understands that there's only so much story ideas that can be pulled from those books. However, even with Cavill's latest ideas about where season 3 should go, he was careful to point out that Toussaint has a bigger presence in the Witcher game and it's mentioned in the books as well.
Speaking to IGN during a recent press junket for the The Witcher season 2, Cavill explained that season 3 is likely going to have to go beyond the books. He made it clear that he understands that readers don't know exactly what happens to Geralt at the end of those books. There's a strong suggestion to his fate, but nothing concrete. The video games are mostly set after the books as well and they all have different endings.
In Cavill's eyes, he thinks that gives the show some leeway in its storytelling moving forward. When asked about Touissant, which is the setting for The Witcher 3 DLC Blood & Wine, and how it might work in the television show, Cavill explained that at one point in the books, Geralt does go there and gets trapped there when the pastors are snowed in. He added that there is a "beautiful opportunity" to explore that region in the show.
Interestingly enough, while Cavill knows about Touissant from the books, he apparently only knows about the setting of Blood & Wine from others. The actor recently divulged that he's never played the DLC for The Witcher 3, though he does intend to rectify that soon. He said there's a decent chance he's going to be sitting down with his nephews over Christmas and see if they can play through the extra content then.
While Cavill has some ideas for where the series should go, nothing is set in stone just yet. For now, The Witcher fans will just have to be happy that season 2 has officially arrived.
The Witcher season 2 is available on Netflix.
