New to Witcher, in season 1: timeline confusion
Yes. Season 1 is Geralt, Yennifer, Ciri. (Or maybe Yennifer then Geralt). But they are out of order, and years apart. There's a scene in one of Yen or Geralts scenes where they're taking about Ciris grandmother just taking the throne, something that was decades ago to Ciri. There's small subtle clues there. Keep in mind Yen and Geralt are older than they look. More on reddit.com

The Witcher (TV Series 2019– ) - IMDb
November 6, 2025 - Why not wait and release the entire series, or release one episode each week? Anyway, regardless of the stupid release schedule, the first half of season 3 is abysmal. The main actors who brought the characters to life in season 1 don't seem to want to be there at all anymore. The script writers are no longer even trying to follow the Witcher stories, they're just off in the weeds doing their own thing.
