Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, the creator and showrunner of the series, said the following about the announcement, per Deadline:

“I’m so thrilled that before fans have even seen our first season, we are able to confirm that we’ll be returning to The Continent again to continue telling the stories of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri.”
