Given that Geralt and Ciri have finally crossed paths as of the end of Season 1, the second season seems to pick up with the White Wolf of Rivia taking the princess to Kaer Morhen for safekeeping — but it’s there she’ll begin her training to become a powerful warrior too. Meanwhile, the very end of the trailer reveals that Yennefer is alive after all, even if she hasn’t made it through last season completely unscathed either. And is that Vesemir we hear in a voiceover issuing a warning to Geralt — about Ciri, of all people?
