This is what Bagiński tweeted about the same, “It’s more streamlined because all the three storylines are now in the same timeline so, I think it makes it a little more straightforward, but in a very good sense. I think it will be a very strong season. We also learned so much on the first one about the world, the characters and about what story we wanted to tell” he said.

Schmidt Hissrich tweeted, “She can’t wait to dig deeper into Cahir and Fringilla in S2…who they are, why Nilfgaard is important to them, and where they’ll go from here…. It’s one of my favorite parts of the new season”.
