The first season of The Witcher, despite the mixed reviews, was a success for Netflix. The dark fantasy adventure series was based on an acclaimed popular videogame franchise by the same name, which itself was based on a series of Polish novels. The Witcher, whose real name is Geralt of Rivia, was portrayed by Henry Cavill, the Man of Steel himself. Now we have the first new stills of the actor as Geralt from the upcoming second season, the shoot of which is going on. Netflix Series The Witcher Review: Henry Cavill is Hot But Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan Are the Pillars Of This Visual Spectacle.

What's noticeable about the new stills is that Geralt has got a new armour which makes him look way more badass now. The pictures shared by The Witcher's official Twitter handle came with the caption, "His emotional shield can ward off any charmer, but his trusted sword he’ll wield, will be matched with new armour." Hmmm... an interesting prose, for sure!

Sure, the new armour hides away Cavill's famous abs away from the eyes of his female fans, but it keeps true to what The Witcher looked in the games. The Witcher Season 2: Henry Cavill's Netflix Series Production in London Halted Due to Coronavirus Scare.
