The Witcher Season 2 setting the stage for a waterfall-crossing on shaky ground

Filming for the second season of The Witcher really took off last week, with location shoots all over the beautiful Lake District in Cumbria, Northwestern England. Geralt-star Henry Cavill was spotted several times in the area, both at the lake of Blea Tarn alongside his trusted companion Roach, and later at Hodge Close Quarry filming with his witcher companion Lambert (Paul Bullion).

Over the weekend, the production has moved on and is now preparing for another shoot further to the east. Read on for more details and our take on what the scene could be about.

While it looks like there’s no filming going on today, the crew hasn’t been idle at all, and is in fact already preparing for the next scene, which will likely be shot tomorrow. A number of people have been gathering near Low Force Waterfall, in the North Pennines region, north-east of the Lake District and thanks to NorthernWild.co.uk we know it’s for The Witcher.

Spanning the waterfall, they set up a destroyed bridge, fastened on ziplines from one bank to the other. Take a look at the images below also courtesy of NorthernWild.co.uk.

Interestingly, an onlooker speculated that the bridge may actually be destroyed during the scene. From the looks of it, it’s already at the verge of breaking down, though this could be adjusted using CGI in post-production.

We’ll have to wait and see if any cast members turn up at the site in the coming days. Given the sorry state of the bridge, we wouldn’t be surprised if the waterfall area was chosen to represent one of the Continent’s more desolate locations. It would certainly be a great fit for the wilderness of Northern Kaedwen and the road leading up to Kaer Morhen.

Witcher fans can look forward to yet another eventful week full of beautiful scenery and hopefully lots of productions updates from the set. As always, you can catch up to the latest news here and on our twitter.

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...
