The Witcher season 2 has fixed the “most controversial” thing about the Netflix show, according to showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.
The game adaptation series starring Henry Cavill has proved to be a hit with fans, but many have complained that the multiple timelines made the story too confusing.
But it seems that won’t be a problem in the second season, as all the characters will exist on the same timeline.

“Obviously, it was one of the most controversial parts of season one and I didn’t expect it to be as controversial as it was. But it’s something I still stand behind, in terms of storytelling,” Hissrich told The Wrap.
“What’s great though is [the characters] have intersected now. So what we’ll see in season two is that all of our characters are existing on the same timeline.
“What that allows us to do story-wise though is to play with time in slightly different ways. We get to do flashbacks, we get to do flash-forwards, we get to actually integrate time in a completely different way that we weren’t able to do in season one.”

Hissrich went on to tease the introduction of new Witches, including Geralt’s (Cavill) mentor, Vesemir, who will be played by Killing Eve‘s Kim Bodnia.
“Probably my favorite additions for season two are the new Witchers,” she said. “Really, in season one, we got to know Geralt and he’s our prime example of a Witcher. And then there is one other witcher, Remus, who we meet in Episode 103, who quickly dies.
“So it was, for us really, about getting Geralt back to his roots and sort of learning where he came from and what his story is and what his sense of family is.”
