The Witcher season 3 episodes: How many episodes are in Volume 1?

The Witcher season 3 consists of eight episodes in total, but Volume 1 consists of the first five episodes – and they'll be dropping all at once so you'll have plenty of time tomorrow to binge the whole lot in one sitting.

The first five episode titles have also already been revealed by Netflix:

Episode 1: 'Shaerrawedd'
Episode 2: 'Unbound'
Episode 3: 'Reunion'
Episode 4: 'The Invitation'
Episode 5: 'The Art of Illusion'

But if you binge them all in one day, that means you've got an even longer wait for the second half of the season...

The Witcher season 3 Volume 2 consists of the remaining three episodes, and will include Henry Cavill's final episode as Geralt of Rivia. Volume 2 will drop on Netflix on July 27th.

The Witcher season 3 plot: What happens in The Witcher season 3?

The official synopsis for the third season of the show reads: "As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it."

"Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever."

The trailer teases high stakes battles, emotional scenes and several key moments for Ciri. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how it all unfolds.
