Netflix has released a Beginner’s Guide to The Witcher — it’s great timing ahead of next week’s release of season 2

While we rather enjoyed The Witcher season 1, it’s fair to say there were a few moments when the story didn’t quite make sense. Once we realised there were flashbacks and events not synchronised, it began to coalesce into a more coherent adventure, but it’s still useful to have a quick reminder of just what happened. Enter Netflix and A Beginner’s Guide to The Witcher. As it says:

New to the world of The Witcher? Then destiny has brought you here. Learn everything you need to know about of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, Princess Cirilla of Cintra and the humble bard Jaskier with our handy recap.

If that’s not enough, you can also look back further in the The Witcher YouTube channel and have a look at The Witcher in 15 minutes. Given the Beginner’s Guide is only a fast-paced 6:32, you may want to consider best use time. A warning though, the shorter video has both an amusing voiceover and a large dose of swearing, so be warned.

The key take-away from all this is The Witcher season 2 is here next Friday 17 December, and we’re rather looking forward to it!
