The Witcher Season XNUMX will be directed by Sarah O'Gorman (Hursed), Ed Bazalgette (The Last Kingdom, Doctor Who), Stephen Serjik (The Umbrella Academy) and Geeta Patel (Meet the Patels ").
"The response to the first season of The Witcher has set the bar high for adding new talent in the second season," said The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. “Sophie Holland and her casting team have once again found the very best people to play these characters, and we are thrilled to see new stories come to life in the hands of these seasoned directors.”
