The Witcher Season 2 to resume production with filming following later on

It has been several months since the cast and crew of Netflix’s The Witcher hadn’t seen each other since the plague. The production of Season 2 of the Henry Cavill action drama has been halted since March due to COVID-19 concerns. Now, however, things are about to change.

Arborfield Studios, The Witcher‘s main production hub in the UK, is about to start coming back to life in the next two weeks. Yet, this does not mean that there will be any filming for the time being. We don’t know many details, but there has to be some sort of a “second” pre-production period before filming properly resumes.

UK’s The Guardian also reports that many of the British productions like The Batman, Fantastic Beasts 3, Jurassic World 3 and The Witcher are allowed to resume as soon as they are ready provided they follow the new protective guidelines against the spread of the Coronavirus.

In short, we can expect The Witcher to resume filming perhaps July or August. Ironically, late July/early August were the planned dates to wrap up the filming had everything gone according to plan.

Patiently sitting and waiting to get back to work

As a quick reminder, Season 2 was in production for one month before the lockdown with four and a half more months to go. Provided they start in the next few months, they could wrap the filming before the end of the year with a 2021 release date.

As for the release date itself, we reported earlier that during the pandemic Platige Image set a new July 2021 deadline to complete their work on the special effects of the second season. Like we said earlier, that could mean that Netflix were planning to release The Witcher‘s Season 2 in July or August 2021.

As a bonus, here is a new photo of Zeus, also known as Roach. Stay safe.

An unexpected character is returning to The Witcher Season 2

Image
It’s been a busy week for Netflix’s The Witcher . We reported about a curious action scene being filmed at Kaer Morhen involving Henry Cavill’s Geralt, Freya Allan’s Ciri along with many new witchers and we followed that up with a report about a number of female characters involved in that storyline as well. Today we have something that surprised us a fair bit. Redanian Intelligence has learned that Danica , played by Imogen Daines , will return to the second season of The Witcher and will appear in one of its first episodes directed by Stephen Surjik. To remind you, Danica is the sex worker who Geralt is with in the beginning of the third episode of the first season and she’s examining the monster slayer’s scars. Imogen Daines as Danica with Henry Cavill as Geralt in The Witcher S01E03 The return of such a minor character is quite unexpected and it’s unclear how Danica would fit in any of the storylines of Season 2. To put the timeline into context, the scene we saw in the ser...

Henry Cavill Injury Doesn't Affect Production

Image
By now you've likely heard that Henry Cavill has injured himself during a shoot for The WItcher. United Kingdom media giant The Sun , reported the news first on Cavill's injury. A source close to the show had this to say regarding the injury, "He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury." This took place while Henry was suspended 20 feet in the air for a major scene. While the title of The Sun's article alludes to the production schedule going into chaos, Deadline.com has now also shared the news but notes that any impact to production is not heavily felt due to the coming holiday shut down. It would seem if Cavill had to sustain any injury, this is a perfect time for the show to absorb it. What do you think of the injury news? Let us know in the comments below or in our forum !

Image
Everyone is eagerly waiting for The Witcher Season 2 on December 17, but the work on the next season doesn’t stay still and the scripts are being written as we speak. If you recall, Season 3 of The Witcher will have a number of new writers who started their work this July. We were wondering when filming for the next season would begin and now we have a window. Thanks to the newest listing on Production Weekly, we now know that Season 3 of The Witcher is planned to enter production in the first quarter of 2022 . But bear in mind that production schedules are never solid and are always subject to change, especially in a post-covid world. Nevertheless, at least now we approximately know the production window and when Netflix wants to get things underway. Contact info blacked out for privacy reasons . Also disregard the locations and directors. That is old info. Season 3 will also have a significant change: instead of Arborfield Studios, production will move to Longcross Studios, w...
