Geralt and Yennefer protect Ciri in The Witcher season 3’s new trailer

Witchers don’t have families and don’t get a chance to love like normal people. And yet Geralt of Rivia has found love with the sorceress, Yennefer, and an adopted child in the exiled princess Ciri. Trials and tribulations kept them apart, but in The Witcher season 3, this unlikely trio is finally united in purpose. Geralt and Yennefer have taken parental responsibility for Ciri and are willing to do anything to keep her safe. But as seen in the new trailer for season 3, even their efforts may not be enough.

Ciri was born with magical abilities that seemingly defy explanation, and that’s why the dark powers of the Continent want her under their control. Geralt and Yennefer are attempting to stay neutral in the ongoing conflict as they take Ciri into hiding so they can train her. If the new footage is any indication, their efforts have been productive. Ciri even considers herself to be a Witcher now. But it takes more than just training to deal with the monsters in this land.

Season 3 will be Henry Cavill’s final run as Geralt, and he will once again be joined by Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Freya Allan as Ciri, and Joey Batey as Jaskier. Netflix already has a fourth season of The Witcher lined up, and Liam Hemsworth will take over the role of Geralt at that point.

For this season, Netflix is taking a page from its Stranger Things release strategy by dropping The Witcher season 3 in two installments. Volume 1 will feature the first five episodes of season 3 on June 29. And just under a month later, the remaining three episodes of the season will premiere on July 27.

Like Netflix’s Alexander: The Making of a God? Watch these 3 historical movies right now
A solider in full armor prepares for battle.

Alexander: The Making of a God depicts the life of the legendary Greek conqueror and his rise to power. Part documentary and part scripted series, Alexander is bound to become one of Netflix's best shows or at least one of the most talked-about, especially as it depicts the titular character as not necessarily straight — something anyone with a bare minimum of historical knowledge will know is true.

Those who enjoy Alexander: The Making of a God might leave the show longing for more Ancient Greece content. My advice to them is to play Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, a game that brings 400 BC Greece to life with stunning detail. However, if they don't want to invest 100-plus hours into the game, they'd do well to check these movies out. With similar tones, themes, and characters, these movies will scratch the itch that Alexander: The Making of a King provokes.
