Writer Declan de Barra reveals his Season 2 episode and other Witcher credits

Declan de Barra’s contribution to the first season of Netflix’s The Witcher was both inside the writing room and outside of it. In addition to writing the fourth episode titled “Of Banquets, Bastards and Burials”, Declan provided his vocals to several music tracks used in the season composed by Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli. While we don’t know if he’ll return as a vocalist in the new season, he will certainly return as a writer.

“I wrote the first episode and we shot a good chunk of it before COVID shut us down”, he said in an interview with We Are Irish. (Read the full interview for more insight into Declan’s work on Season 1)

To this we can add something we learned ourselves: the second episode of Season 2 was written by Beau DeMayo who wrote Episode 3 which adapts the short story “The Witcher” and also The Nightmare of the Wolf anime about young Vesemir which is currently in development.

It was revealed back in November that almost all of the writers of Season 1 would return except for Jenny Klein, who previously wrote Episode 2 of the first season and the lyrics to the hit “Toss A Coin to Your Witcher”.

The newcomers of Season 2 are Matthew D’Ambrosio, previously the script supervisor, and Clare Higgins, who was a writers’ assistant back in Season 1. While we don’t know which episode Matthew has penned, Clare co-wrote an episode with showrunner Lauren Hissrich according to her LinkedIn page. We ourselves have learned it’s Episode 3 of Season 2.

In summary, these are the Season 2 writing credits so far:

  • Episode 1: Declan de Barra
  • Episode 2: Beau DeMayo
  • Episode 3: Lauren Hissrich & Clare Higgins

The other five episodes were written by Sneha Koorse, Matthew D’Ambrosio, Michael Ostrowski, Haily Hall and most likely another one by Lauren Hissrich. We can’t wait to learn more on this!

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...
