The Witcher Season 2 to film another waterfall sequence in the Yorkshire Dales

Filming of the second season of Henry Cavill’s The Witcher has really picked up the pace following a months-long break due to Covid-19. The crew and cast of Netflix’s fantasy flagship has been all over Northern England, making use of some of the region’s most stunning locations, including the picturesque Lake District and the spectacular High- and Low Force Waterfalls in the North Pennines region.

As one part of the crew is busy filming a waterfall crossing involving stars Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) and Freya Allan (Ciri), news reaches us that a second unit is already preparing for another shoot further south, and it looks like they will be filming yet another waterfall sequence.

This second unit is currently gathering in the Malham area in the Yorkshire Dales. A local who described the set as massive informed us that filming will take place at two nearby waterfalls: Gordale Scar and Janet’s Foss. Gordale scar is a limestone ravine, containing waterfalls and cliffs that reach up to over 100 meters.

Janet’s Foss is a small waterfall near Malhalm pouring into a pool. It’s named after a fairytale, according to which a fairy queen once inhabited a cave at the rear of the fall.

The area around Gordale Scar is markedly different from the High- and Low Force Waterfalls in Durham County, which makes us believe that the crew will be filming an entirely new scene, perhaps involving other cast members. Is it Henry Cavill’s turn again? Stay tuned!

The area around Gordale Scar and Janet’s Foss is yet another stunning location the team of The Witcher is filming and we’re even more excited to learn what the crew is up to there! Keep an eye on our twitter for further developments. We’ll update you as soon as we know more.

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...
