In fact, according to the creators, they have five seasons outlined and every fan would want to see this plan getting materialized.

Fans were also disappointed when they heard no updates about Season 2 at Netflix’ Drop 01 anime livestream which took place a week ago. But that is about to change real soon!
As it happens, Netflix’ Geeked Week 2023 is just around the corner and will feature some major updates about some of our favorite franchises. In fact, a recent leak on Twitter revealed a full line up for all Netflix animated productions slated for near future. These include Blood of Zeus, Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, Devilman: Crybaby, and others in the image attached above. What makes this believable is that Geeked Week has been officially confirmed by Netflix, and a few days ago, Redanian Intelligence also hinted at The Witcher’s presence at the event. This makes us believe everything else in this leaked image might turn out to be true as well!
