The Witcher is casting a hardened killer for Season 2

Netflix’s The Witcher resumes filming very soon after a long hiatus due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Pre-production is underway with Henry Cavill and Freya Allan arriving to the studio to prepare for filming that will last until February 2021. Now, it seems, casting has resumed as well.

This is an audition tape for a mysterious character named just “D” in the tape. D is a hardened and experienced man, who is no stranger to killing. The actor’s name is Edward Rowe (thanks to our reader Valibomba for the tip). Take a look before it’s taken down:

Here is the transcription:

Man: “I’m sorry, D. I don’t know what happened.”
D: “You fell asleep on you watch, that’s what happened. You made it through your first battle without shitting your kacks, you’ve earned a night’s rest.”
Man: “Does is ever get easier?“
D: “Staying awake?“
Man: “Killing.”
D: “When you were a boy and your father sent you to plow the field, your hands hurt first, didn’t they? Then the blisters, callus and the ache moved to your back, then you got strong and the ache moved to your head to the everyday monotony of putting your blade to the ground and tilling the never ending roads of dirt. Killing is no different than any other job. The trick is to know that the difficulty never goes away. It just migrates, becomes a duller kind of heart. One you can learn to ignore.”

So who is Mr. D? One guess could be Rience. Fits the age, fits the vibe, but one never knows. D could be an entirely new character as well. One possible giveaway could be his codename: D. Most of the time characters are codenamed after the first letter of their real name. Dijkstra was codenamed David, but this can’t be him. Rience, however, was codenamed Richard, so it may not be him either.

Curious little audition today. Redanian Intelligence will keep watching.

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 !

The Witcher Season 3 to enter production in early 2022

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...
