When asked by RadioTimes.com if Nenneke would be returning for the upcoming season, Ajoa said: "Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. The books are so huge. And they've gone so many different ways in the stories. Nenneke is in the books a lot. But it depends what they want to do with, you know, this version of it.

Henry Cavill and Anya Chalotra star in the series

It's been confirmed that the upcoming third season will be based on The Time of Contempt, the second book in the original The Witcher saga by Andrzej Sapkowski. Those who have read the book will know that the next instalment in the book series sees Yennefer, Ciri and Geralt travel to Aretuza so that Ciri can master her magic.

Creator Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has teased some dark moments in season three. "In season three, we're introducing the Scoia'tael, this army of elves that's fighting on behalf of Nilfgaard," she told Polygon. "And they don't come off so great. It's a pretty sort of harsh, dark storyline."
