Fans are likely to notice that Vesemir is absent from the list, which indicates that Geralt's wise and wizened instructor either does not make an appearance in the second season, the role has not been finalized or the announcement is being held back for a reveal at a later date. "The reaction to season one of The Witcher set a high bar for adding new talent for the second season," said showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.
