Production for the third season of Netflix’s The Witcher is in its final stretch, with only about ten days of filming remaining. And yet, the Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan series still has work to do, including out on location. A few days ago we reported that filming would take place in the Guildford Cathedral for episodes 7 and 8. We didn’t know at the time what it would be used for, but made a few suggestions.
