The Witcher Season 3 Unleashes an Epic Geralt Bathtub Meme Upgrade, With an Unforgettable Yennefer Twist

In season 3 of The Witcher, there is a significant moment that brings back a viral scene from season 1: Geralt of Rivia in a bathtub. However, this time, there is a clever twist involving Yennefer. The third season of Netflix's The Witcher is being treated as a major event, not only because of its storyline, but also because it marks Henry Cavill's final season as Geralt of Rivia. Liam Hemsworth will take on the role of Geralt in season 4 and beyond, if the show is renewed for more seasons. Therefore, season 3 maximizes Cavill's talent and presence as much as possible. After Yennefer's betrayal in season 2, season 3 focuses on Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer's attempts to stay safe, as Ciri becomes the target of half the Continent. However, regaining Geralt's trust is not easy for Yennefer, and season 3 shows their struggles to reconnect and work together for Ciri's well-being. Eventually, Geralt and Yennefer reconcile and reignite their romance, adding an interesting twist to the viral bathtub moment from season 1 in The Witcher season 3.

Yennefer Mocks The Geralt Of Rivia Bathtub Meme In The Witcher Season 3

In Netflix's The Witcher, there are several Easter eggs and references to Andrzej Sapkowski's books and the popular video games. One of these references is the viral bathtub scene, featured in the 2015 game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which was included in the Netflix adaptation not just once, but three times. The first bathtub scene in season 1 of The Witcher shows Geralt being convinced by Jaskier to take a bath after a mission left him covered in mud and blood. The second scene occurs when Yennefer helps Geralt with a djinn and they take a bath together, despite having just met.

In season 3, the third bathtub moment takes place, with Geralt once again accompanied by Yennefer, but under different circumstances. After a party in Aretuza, Yennefer and Geralt reflect on their experiences from the night and take a bath together. This time, the bathtub scene has a humorous twist as Yennefer teases Geralt for taking so long to return to a bathtub. This not only references the time they spent apart but also acknowledges the popularity of Geralt's bathtub scenes, which were absent in season 2 of The Witcher.

Why The Witcher's Geralt Bathtub Meme Is So Popular

Geralt's bathtub scene did not become a viral meme after its adaptation in the Netflix series. It had already gained popularity when The Witcher III game was released. The reason for the scene's viral sensation is that it provides a rare moment of tranquility and calm for Geralt, the witcher. In the game, Geralt relaxes in a small wooden tub, which adds to the scene's memorability. In the TV series, Geralt has a larger tub, and Henry Cavill's physique became the main reason for the scene's viral status and countless memes.

The bathtub scene between Geralt and Yennefer in season 3 of The Witcher may not be as memorable as those from the first season. This is mainly due to the more serious context surrounding it. However, future seasons may continue this unique trend. It is unlikely that the team behind Netflix's The Witcher would pass up the opportunity to give Liam Hemsworth's Geralt his own bathtub scene. However, it is uncertain how the audience would receive it.
