The second episode of Netflix’s behind-the-scenes Witcher podcast series, which launched last week, is now available to listen to online. The podcast, part two of a three-episode series, gives fans of the new Witcher Netflix series insight into how the writers and other staff approached adapting the character of Yennefer of Vengerberg.
The Second Behind-the-Scenes Witcher Podcast
The behind-the-scenes Witcher podcast series, which is available to listen to on Pocket Casts, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Stitcher, is Netflix’s second series in this format; the company released a three-part podcast series in mid-2019 for Stranger Things’ third season. That format has seemingly now been adapted for The Witcher. Each of the 40-minute episodes focuses on one of the three central characters in the show; Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and coming next week, Princess Cirilla. (The third and final episode of the series should be available on the 22nd of January.)
Given the rampant success of Netflix’s Witcher series, it’s not altogether surprising that the company would choose to give fans a look behind-the-scenes. (Especially given the apparent interest among many as to how the team adapted the original novels.) Indeed, The Witcher became the most-wanted series in the world following its release; surpassing Disney’s The Mandalorian to take the top spot. The series’ success has resulted in a resurgence of interest in The Witcher in general. In fact, a new record for most concurrent players was set in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt shortly after the launch of the Netflix series.
Evidently, fans can’t get enough of The Witcher right now; something which CD Projekt Red may well be looking to take advantage of, given that they recently renewed their contract with Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski to produce work based on his novels. Whatever the case, the final episode of this behind-the-scenes series should be available next week. After that, fans will have to wait until the second season. Although, the wait may not be too long, given that it has already entered production.
