Sigismund’s mysterious involvement in The Witcher Season 2

One of The Witcher Season 2 episodes is titled “Redanian Intelligence.” This proves that the new season of The Witcher will explore the vast universe of the shows in thrilling manners. In the original content created by Sapkowski, the Redanian Intelligence is considered the most effective intelligence agency on the Continent. In addition, Sigismund, who is an expert spymaster, is responsible for running the agency. The forthcoming season deals with Sigismund, and the Redanian Intelligence only means that the show intends to flesh out the secrets about the Continent’s politics.

Although, we are still uncertain how the involvement of Sigismund will affect Geralt’s overall arc in the story. Or how he will be responsible for churning matters of significance if any. However, if we consider the source material, it would make sense if Sigismund is seen taking a questionable stance with things. 

Sigismund is a professional spy. And good as they come, the likes are known to operate furtively. Moreover, because his motivations and loyalties are still unclear, it is too soon to decide whether or not he will act as Geralt’s ally or an enemy. Thankfully, we do not have to wait for too long to get the answer to all these questions. The second season of The Witcher will premiere on Netflix on December 17.
