The Witcher Season 2: 10 Things We'd Love To See

8. Regis

Without giving too much away, Regis is a character that we could reasonably expect to pop up sometime in the next season. A compelling figure in both the books and the games, his role in the main story of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri is as vital as it is unexpected.

A recovering addict of… let's call it a particular kind of drug, has the opportunity to be quite genuinely compelling. A story about someone dealing with addiction, an addiction that both inherently ties them to their community and makes them dangerous to anyone around, is one with a lot of depth to it.

If executed like many of the other stories of addiction in our popular media, it could be an opportunity to show a depth of empathy and understanding with people who have also struggled with such demons.

Beyond this, his excellent presence in the games carries a tone of affable grimness that gives shade to even Toussaint's bright fairy-tale skies.

The interpretation of Regis' particular group of folk and where they came from would be another point that really helps The Witcher stand out from other series.
