The much-anticipated second-season debut of “The Witcher” landed at the top of PvNew’s Trending TV chart for the week of Dec. 13 to Dec. 19. The Netflix series had been long delayed as a result of COVID, but eight fresh episodes finally dropped on Friday, to the joy of fantasy fans everywhere.
The fact that showrunner Lauren Schmidt answered fan questions on Twitter only helped bolster the conversation, helping viewers better understand the characters played by Henry Cavill, Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra and more.
SO much to discuss, and yes, we'll do it here too! Let's have real conversations about what happened in S1, what developed in S2, and what's going to happen in the future. Bring your critique, your love, your mixed opinions, I accept them all!

The show debut itself, finale twist and subsequent questions that the storylines raised weren’t the only topics of conversation though. Those who stuck around after the Season 2 credits rolled were also treated to a new trailer for the upcoming prequel series, “The Witcher: Blood Origin,” starring Michelle Yeoh as Scian -- the last survivor of her sword-elf tribe.

Yeoh wasn’t the only person who left Twitter abuzz this week, as BTS once again caused a social media frenzy during an appearance on The CW’s televised “Jingle Ball.” The concert, which re-airs on Christmas Day, is the group’s last publicized event before their previously announced “period of rest,” so ARMY definitely savored the group’s “Dynamite” performance. So much so that the “Jingle Ball” had more than 219,000 engagements this week, catapulting it to No. 2 on the trends list.
