The fate of several fan-favorite characters from Season 1 of 'The Witcher' have been left ambiguous in the Season 1 finale. Who actually died?
Warning: The following article comprises spoilers for Seasons 1 and a pair of of The Witcher.
One of the largest cliffhangers from the Season 1 finale of The Witcher was the query of Yennefer's (Anya Chalotra) destiny. Yennefer was one of the three main characters presented in Season 1 of the Netflix delusion sequence, together with Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) and the titular Witcher, Princess Ciri (Freya Allen).
Although it was once very obvious that Geralt and Ciri survived Season 1 (the finale ended at the two in the end meeting), Yennefer's destiny was left fully unsure. And what happened to our favorite sassy bard, Jaskier (Joey Batey)? Let's recap the destiny of some of our favourite characters to look if they survived long sufficient to be an element of Season 2.
Who Actually Died in 'The Witcher' Season 1?
Thankfully, Yennefer survives the climatic Season 1 Battle of Sodden Hill. To recap, Yennefer became the tide of the struggle against the Nilfgaardian army by unleashing her tough chaos. However, Yennefer's destiny later on was left an entire mystery. It's revealed in Season 2 that she did live to tell the tale, however at a value. Yennefer has completely lost her talent to accomplish even elementary bits of magic.
And what about Jaskier? It's due to him that we were given the qualified bop, "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher." Jaskier had followed Geralt around like a puppy in Season 1, and the not likely duo encountered many mishaps and adventures. However, Geralt lashed out at Jaskier following a fight Geralt had together with his love, Yennefer. Geralt blamed Jaskier for all of his woes, and the heartbroken bard departed from the Witcher's grumpy snatch.
It turns out Jaskier did survive. The bard makes an excellent return in Season 2 of The Witcher. Of path, Jaskier would pull a Taylor Swift and pen a new track called "Burn, Butcher, Burn." The track refers to a nickname Geralt completely hates: "The Butcher of Blaviken." It refers to a moment shown in Season 1 where Geralt is forced to kill Princess Renfri (Emma Appleton) and her gang because she threatened to kill blameless residents of Blaviken.
So, Renfri doesn't make it out of Season 1 alive but Yennefer and Jaskier do. Does anyone else actually die in Season 1? The resolution is sure.
The death of Queen Calanthe (Jodhi May) serves as the primary reason Princess Ciri flees from the kingdom of Cintra. Calanthe was the warrior queen of Cintra and Ciri's grandmother. She realizes all the way through the Nilfgaardian attack on Cintra that every one hope was lost. Rather than allow enemy soldiers to slaughter her, Calanthe jumps out of a window, ending her own lifestyles.
Ciri's parents, Pavetta (Agata Buzek) and Duny (Bart Edwards) also are presumed lifeless thanks to a shipwreck in Season 1. (Seriously, poor Ciri can not catch a damage!) Calanthe's husband, King Eist (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson), is also killed in Season 1, due to taking an arrow in the eye.
Season 1 also had two other fatalities. Yennefer have been tasked with protecting Queen Kalis (Isobel Laidler) and her child woman. Unfortunately, the trio are chased by a dangerous assassin. After making an attempt to rescue both Kalis and her daughter, Yennefer leaves Kalis behind however does attempt to save her baby.
Kalis is quickly killed via the murderer. Yennefer then discovers that Kalis' daughter was fatally wounded as neatly, marking one of The Witcher's saddest blameless deaths. Does any one die in Season 2? You'll just have to watch to determine!
Season 2 of The Witcher is streaming on Netflix now.
