Netflix is making a YouTube aftershow for The Witcher season 2

Netflix is bringing us an aftershow for The Witcher season 2, complete with deleted scenes and previews of what’s to come.

The Witcher season 2 drops in its entirety on Netflix this Friday, and the streamer wants to make sure the fans make the most of it. To that end, they’ve announced The Witcher: Unlocked, an aftershow that will run on YouTube starting Monday, December 20.

Unlocked will have six segments. Two will focus on the journeys of the four main characters: Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer and Jaskier. Another will spotlight scenes and stories adapted directly from Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novels. One segment will dive into the new witchers being introduced this season: Vesemir (Kim Bodnia), Lambert (Paul Bullion) and Coen (Yasen Atour). There are also a couple of deleted scenes, one between Geralt and Triss and another with Stregobor and Vilgefortz.

Finally, one segment will tease what’s to come, and explain how the reveals in season 2 “set up The Witcher Season 3 and The Witcher: Blood Origin.” Blood Origin is a live-action Witcher prequel series set some thousand years before the original. It’ll probably be coming along sometime in 2022, along with another Witcher anime movie. Netflix is going all in on this series.

Usually, an aftershow breaks down an episode of a given series after it airs, because of Netflix’s drop-every-episode-at-once model, that can’t really happen for The Witcher, so we have this. Hopefully it will add to the enjoyment of a second season that is sounds like it’s an improvement on the first.
