More details of yesterday’s Witcher night shoot with Henry Cavill, Royce Pierreson and more

On Tuesday night, The Witcher‘s cast and crew gathered on the beach of Frensham Little Pond to film a scene led by Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia. Yesterday, we were handed quite a few pictures from the set by our local source (including pictures of Tom Canton’s King Filavandrel preparing for filming). Now, we have a few more details regarding the cast involved in the scene and what may have transpired thanks to a second local, who also provided us two new pictures.

Before we share Chloe’s brief description of the scene, we’re going to recap the cast members that were on set for filming. Besides Cavill’s Geralt and Canton’s Filavandrel, Royce Pierreson’s Istredd was also seen on location. Later, two more cast members shared stories on their Instagram page, suggesting that they were on set: Mecia Simson’s Francesca and Kaine Zajaz’s Gage (Francesca’s brother in the show). Wilson Radjou-Pujalte’s Dara may also have been involved.

These actors were joined by extras dressed as elves and many horses. Filming took place at the beach, where the Netflix crew had built a campfire and several tents. Props were also brought to the location, including vases and trunks.

When filming began on Tuesday night, our source spotted Geralt having a scuffle with another character near the campfire. The second character was described as dark haired and with a deep voice, so it could be Istredd or Gage (or someone else). Apparently, the second character had “information about Ciri of Cintra”. This scene may be related to another one shot nearby, focusing on Istredd and Geralt and photographed in high quality.

As security was rather strict during filming, we don’t have new pictures of the cast. Here are some photos taken by Sara Talib before filming began.

  • This actor may be Wilson Radjou- Pujalte’s Dara

In case you’ve missed our earlier report, we have a rather spoiler-y description of a scene featuring Anya Chalotra’s Yennefer and Freya Allan’s Ciri.

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...
