the platform’s biggest first TV season ever. It’s not surprising, then, that the series was renewed for a second season even before the first one was released.
The Witcher follows the stories of Jaskier (Joey Batey), a traveling bard who s Geralt on his journeys, and who had a big music hit not only in the series but off screen as well, further adding to the success of season 1.
Jaskier was in charge of spreading the word about Geralt’s adventures, and did so through his songs, even if they exaggerated what truly happened. Episode 2 featured the song “Toss A Coin To Your Witcher”, in which he told the events of the episode, but what no one was counting on was on the song going viral.
Netflix Wasn’t Counting On Toss A Coin To Your Witcher Becoming So Popular
Geralt battled different creatures, “Toss A Coin To Your Witcher” was released on Spotify.
Back in December, composer Sonya Belousova shared on her Instagram that the official soundtrack of The Witcher was ready to go but it was up to Netflix and whether they decide to release it or not, but in the meantime, “Toss A Coin To Your Witcher” – along with “Geralt of Rivia”, “The Song of The White Wolf”, and “The Last Rose of Cintra” – was available on hers and Giona Ostinelli's Soundcloud . Netflix clearly didn’t know what they had with “Toss A Coin To Your Witcher” or they would have been prepared, meaning that it wouldn’t have taken them so long to officially release it.
It’s a similar situation to Disney's with The Witcher season 2 arrives, in case Jaskier is working on another big hit.
