Netflix is reportedly considering a Witcher spinoff focusing on mages

Henry Cavill’s the Witcher on Netflix just had its first season but all signs point towards an expansion of the franchise in the not so distant future. After a production break due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the second season is currently being filmed in the UK, and a third season may already be greenlit. Moreover, the streaming giant also has two spinoffs in the works: The animated film Nightmare of The Wolf, about the adventures of Geralt’s mentor Vesemir, and Blood Origin, a live-action limited series, set during the time of the mysterious Conjunction of the Spheres.

Apparently, Netflix is far from done yet and already considering other possible spinoffs. News reaches us via reliable insider Daniel Ritchman that one such project could focus on the mages of the Witcher world. Specifically the witches/sorceresses. While the emphasis is on “considering” and nothing is confirmed yet, this opens up some interesting possibilities to explore the long history of magic on the Continent.

In a previous tweet, Richtman already mentioned that more Witcher spinoffs may be coming our way in the future.

The fact that Netflix is considering more spinoffs is not altogether surprising. If a project focusing on mages ever gets the green light, the post of showrunner will likely go to one of the writers working on the main show. As Beau De Mayo and Declan De Barra have been given responsibility for The Nightmare of the Wolf and Blood Origin respectively, our money would be on Haily Hall, who penned the sixth episode of the first season. We’ll keep you updated if anything solid turns up about this Witcher Cinematic Universe!

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 !

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...
