Apparently, one of the episodes of The Witcher Season 2 will be dedicated to this interesting and confusing story. In Game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Nivellen did not appear. The series “The Witcher” turned out to be a big hit for Netflix, and is still very popular, and therefore the quality and budget of the show should increase in the coming seasons, in addition, there are already rumors that other world-famous actors may appear in the project except for Henry Cavill himself as Geralt.
