The Witcher Season 2 filming inside a quarry in the Lake District with Geralt and Lambert

Fiming of Netflix’s The Witcher season two took to Northern England’s Lake District earlier this week, with series star Henry Cavill seen on location as Geralt several times (including once with his trusted partner Roach). On Friday, October 16, the crew converged at Hodge Close Quarry near the hamlet of Little Langdale, where they filmed an interesting sequence.

The quarry houses a number of caverns, including the beautiful Cathedral Cave. Onlookers have told us that the crew has set up various ziplines throughout the area, allowing them to easily carry equipment up and down the quarry, where the crew had filmed during the day. Onlookers also informed us that both Henry Cavill (Geralt) and his witcher partner-in-crime Paul Bullion (Lambert) were on location. While it looks like none of the other witchers were involved in this particular sequence, tourists have brought us news of a special “cast member” at the site.

If you want to avoid possible spoilers, skip this paragraph and enjoy the pictures of Hodge Close Quarry below. The additional “cast member” seen at Hodge Close Quarry was in fact not a cast member at all, but a wild animal: a wolf. From what one onlooker understands after watching and listening to the crew, the wolf was eating a corpse or carcass in the quarry during a scene also involving Geralt and Lambert. This didn’t happen in the books, but it sounds like an exciting new scene. Take a look at the quarry in the images below.

Filming took to Hodge Close Quarry following a shoot at two other Lake District locations: the Rydal Caves and the lake of Blea Tarn. It’s possible that the scene filmed at the Rydal Caves belongs to the same sequence and both caves will be combined to represent one location in post production. However, as far as we know Lambert actor Paul Bullion was not seen at the Rydal Caves (only Cavill).

On Saturday morning, the crew returned to the beautiful lake of Blea Tarn. Two onlookers have seen the crew decorating the location with smoke machines and fake snow, something they have done recently in the forests near Deepcut. Executive Producer Tomek Baginski was also on location throughout the week, and shared two pictures on his Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Though filming has likely wrapped for this week, the cast and crew of The Witcher are expected to continue location shoots across Northern England for the next two weeks. Stay tuned for more news on The Witcher season two in the coming days.

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...
