Season 1 ofThe Witcherattracted fans with its well-done fantasy world and even better characters. Of course, the books and games have their fans as well. But the show also appeals to those not entirely familiar with the world of The Continent. Part of that appeal is in the well-written characters, particularly the female characters such as Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) and Cirilla, known as Ciri, of Cintra (Freya Allan).
Characters like Yennefer and Ciri are not the only well-written female characters.Secondary characters such as Ciri’s mother Pavettaand grandmother Queen Calanthe are equally well-done. Even antagonists like Renfri are done well.The WitcherSeason 2 has the possibility of doing even better with its female characters than season 1. And that’s amazing.The Witcher’s fans are lucky.

After the oftentragic mess that wasGame of Thrones, it’s nice to see a fantasy world where women are treated with respect. That doesn’t guarantee, of course, that they’ll all get happy endings. But at least the journey will be worth it. AndThe WitcherSeason 2 promises to take Yennefer and Ciri on intriguing journeys. There are also going to be new female characters introduced inThe WitcherSeason 2. If it’s anything like Season 1, these female characters will be just as well-developed as the main characters.These characters will include Nenneke,a priestess at the temple of Melitele. She is often a voice of reason for Geralt. It would be interesting to see Ciri meet her, though of course fans will have to wait forThe WitcherSeason 2 to see if she does.
What’s certain is that characters like Nenneke and sorceress Philippa Eilhart will add more powerful women to the cast. And that’s great. Ciri’s story also seems to be taking center stage inThe WitcherSeason 2. The next season could makeCiri an even more compelling character. Yennefer, too, is bound to improve. She will likely be on her own for a while and that will make her survival even more intriguing. Yennefer’s independence will likely serve her well. And it’ll be a treat for fans. While newer female characters will likely keep fans on their toes. The world ofThe WitcherSeason 2 will probably be anything but predictable.
Ciri, throughout season 1, becomes strongerand more able to exist independently. Yennefer rises to power and then leaves it behind. She wants to get her fertility back since she feels it was taken from her. Though she did freely choose to be a mage, and therefore to become sterile, she did not realize at the time what she was giving up.Yennefer is a characterthat many fans can likely relate to. Ciri, too, is very relevant for fans. She grows up pampered and safe but is then thrust into a difficult world.The WitcherSeason 2 will expand on both of these powerful women. Characters like Nenneke and Philippa will probably intrigue fans as well. And adding more well-written female characters can only improve the status of women inThe Witcher.
The WitcherSeason 2, therefore, has the potential to beeven more empowering for its female charactersthan season 1. Fans will get to see Ciri and Yennefer grow. They will also meet Nenneke, Philippa, and more new female characters. The more well-written female characters a story has, the better. And so far the writers ofThe Witcherhave a good track record. If they can keep writing compelling female characters forThe WitcherSeason 2, then the show will continue to empower its female characters. And women everywhere, as well. It certainly looks promising, based on what is known aboutThe WitcherSeason 2 so far. Fans are definitely in for a treat.The Witcherseems to keep getting better.
Of course, not every fan ofThe Witcherwill agree. Some might not be interested. However, those who are will be looking forward toThe WitcherSeason 2 even more now.

This was also true in season 1 ofThe Witcher, but season 2 is bound to be even better.The WitcherSeason 2 can build on what season 1 did well. And also improve upon it.
Sounds good! ThoughThe WitcherSeason 2 will likely not be perfect, it seems it will treat its female characters well. And that’s definitely something to celebrate.
