Thursday July 27, midday - Final episode names and logos revealed
The Witcher have confirmed the titles and emblems for the final three episodes in season three part two.
"Volume 2 coming in hotter than the Korath desert sun," reads the post caption from The Witcher's official Instagram account, alongside three images.
Episode 6: Everybody has a plan 'til they get punched in the face
Episode 7: Out of the fire, into the frying pan
Episode 8: The cost of chaos
Interestingly episode six's title is a quote from boxer Mike Tyson, who said the following words before fighting Evander Holyfield in the ring.
We believe the symbol for episode six is of Tar Lara (aka the tower Ciri enters, connects with and then uses her powers to accidentally enter another dimension).
The second emblem clearly depicts Little Horse, the unicorn audiences will meet in episode 7.
As for episode 8's logo, we think it's a combination of Geralt's White Wolf, Yennefer's symbol and Ciri's swallow.
"They are all on separate paths at the end, so maybe that's what this is about," says Digital Spy's TV writer Janet Leigh.
Fans got a taste of what's to come in the final three episodes thanks to The Witcher season three part two trailer, which dropped on Monday (July 24).
The trailer teased an epic showdown between Geralt and the series' villain, with a gruff Geralt declaring: "I will make them pay". Will he be victorious?

Thursday July 27, 11am - Cavill's top 10 Geralt moments
We'll be the first to admit we could watch Henry Cavill as Geralt forever - but sadly his tenure as The Witcher lead is coming to an end in season three part two.
But before we bid him adieu, it's only right we give Cavill a worthy send off.
From his on-screen romps, to his biggest and best kills - and the rare occasion he decides to show some humour - we've compiled our top 10 Geralt moments.
And yes, his topless bath scene from season one obviously made the cut.
Actor Liam Hemsworth is only too aware of the large shoes he has to fill in The Witcher season four. When announced as Cavill's replacement back in October last year, he praised the Man of Steel star's performance.
"Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I'm honoured that he's handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf's blades for the next chapter of his adventure.
"Henry, I've been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I'm truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world."

Thursday July 27, 10am - Cast and set secrets
We're holding back on The Witcher spoilers for now, so you can enjoy the newly released season three part two episodes in all it's glory.
It's no surprise that fans of the franchise are just as obsessed with the cast as they are with the Netflix show, so with this in mind we've shared some of our favourite The Witcher fun facts, about the actors and behind-the-scenes process.
1. Triss (Anna Shaffer) and Sabrina (Therica Wilson-Read) are both in a cast WhatsApp group with newer witches. The best part? It's called 'Chaos' with a flamed red love heart emoji.
2. The Witcher's Master Armourer Nick Jeffries revealed that one prop has a hidden nickname written on it. Dwarf Yarpen Zigrin has a knife that doubles up as a pair of shears with testicle tickler' in Elvish discreetly engraved on the inside the blades.
3. Tut tut! Joey Batey (aka Jaskier) got told off for taking something from set after season two. Costume Designer Lucinda Wright revealed Batey admitted to nicking his necklace during the series two premiere. Nevertheless, he was politely asked to return it.

Thursday July 27, 9am - Vilgefortz actor Mahesh Jadu reveals character's 'silent strength'
There's plenty of power play on screen in The Witcher and actor Mahesh Jadu is one cast member who knows a thing or two about bringing a big ego to life.
Chatting to Digital Spy, Jadu shared how viewers should focus on his character's smaller actions which often say more than you think.
"Sometimes it's better that your enemy thinks that you are weak when you've got strength, and they think you're strong when you are weak," he tells us. "Just staying still and quiet, and smiling, and all of that — it's not a show of weakness, but a show of silence."
Audiences are expected to see more of Vilgefortz in season three part two, following on from an explosive episode five, that opened many viewers' eyes on Jadu's character and his true intentions.
The actor had previously received advice from co-star Joey Batey to read the books to get a sense of his character's journey on the show. And thankfully Jadu did.
"There was a lot of absence in the book. Vilgefortz just wasn't there. But the result of his actions was there," he explained.

Thursday July 27, 8am - Behind-the-scenes of The Witcher season 3
Ever wondered where Henry Cavill and the rest of The Witcher cast film the series and what hard work goes into pulling off the hit Netflix production?
Digital Spy's Editor in Chief Laurence Mozafari was invited to an exclusive set visit during season 3 filming, travelling to an undisclosed studio location that's not too far away from theme park Thorpe Park.
As expected, the hair and make-up departments were large-scale, with a fair few stunt performers on hand to help Cavill kick-ass.
Talking of stunts, show bosses shared a preference for practical effects over CGI in season 3 (much to the audience's delight). And there's plenty more magic to come in part two, which drops on Netflix today.
One of the team's biggest challenges when filming the latest series? A certain beast which The Witcher's Head of Franchise Design, Andrew Laws, teased was the 'hardest monster' they've made to date. Think prosthetics coupled with VFX and creature concept design to help bring it to life. You'll have to tune in to the last few episodes to see exactly which one they're talking about...

Thursday July 27, 7am — So, how did The Witcher season 3 part 2 pick up from the part one cliffhanger?
It's the day The Witcher fans have been waiting for — and a bittersweet one at that, as the release of season three part two marks Henry Cavill's final outing as Geralt of Rivia.
The Superman star brought Andrzej Sapkowski's protagonist to life in the hit Netflix series, giving us murder, moody glares and, of course, muscles (three things his successor Liam Hemsworth better swat up on).
But before we say goodbye, we thought we'd get your Witcher viewing off to a good start with a refresher on that Vilgefortz twist in the season three part one finale.
First things first: Vilgefortz is a baddie who's secretly working for Nilfgaard. Not a huge shock to those who've read the books, but the revelation certainly rocked some Netflix viewers to the core.
Vilgefortz wants Ciri — currently being kept hidden away in Aretuza — because of her powers. Meanwhile, Yennefer is still tracking Tissaia, fearing for her safety (and for good reason). Then there's our main man Geralt, who was last seen with a knife at his neck in the part one finale. How's he going to get out of that one?
