‘The Witcher’ Season 2 Rumor: The Elf Army Called Scoia’tael Will Feature
SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses Netflix‘s The Witcher as well as its original source material. Those wishing to avoid potential spoilers should proceed with caution.
According to a fansite and images from the set, Season 2 of Netflix’s new smash-hit epic fantasy series, The Witcher, will feature an elf army.
Production is now underway for the next season and fansite Redanian Intelligence has been a major source for potential spoilers and rumors as filming gets underway. Most recently, they reported that scenes involving the elf army known as the Scoia’tael were filmed at Dorking, England.
Images taken on set were obtained by the fansite and detailed what appears to be many cast extras in Elven costumes. In addition, it is believed that an important Elven character from the novels called Francesca Findabair was also involved in these new scenes. Alongside her, King Filavandrel (Tom Canton), who featured briefly in Season 1, and Yennefer Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) were also on set.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Season 2 will focus more on character development and moving the story forward. Now that Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) and Ciri (Freya Allan) have finally met up, their story will be developed even further. It seems possible that, much like in the book series on which it is based, Geralt will take Ciri to the Witcher stronghold of Kaer Morhen. It is on this journey that they first encounter the elf army, according to Screen Rant.
While Season 1 delved into the political slants of the Continent, it has not yet looked at other warring factions featured in the book series. The elf army is one such group and is considered to be a formidable threat. With their arrival in the Netflix series, it seems likely that their terrifying presence will be amped up considerably. In the books, they are known to instill fear in humans and “demand loyalty from non-humans,” according to Screen Rant.
Currently, the existence of the elf army and how they will be featured are unsubstantiated, as nothing has been officially confirmed or denied by Netflix. Viewers will have to wait a little longer in order to find out more about the next season of The Witcher.
Season 1 is currently streaming globally on Netflix. Season 2 has been confirmed by the network, but no premiere date has been announced yet. There are also rumors that Netflix is close to confirming a third season of the epic fantasy show.
