The Witcher films with Henry Cavill at Bourne Woods

Filming of Henry Cavill’s fantasy series, The Witcher, has taken place in the hills, forests, and ponds of Surrey over the past week. Thanks to some onlookers and photographers, we got to enjoy pictures of Geralt riding a new horse during filming and a dramatic scene involving Yennefer and Ciri which may belong to the second season’s final episode. Today, we have details of a new scene filmed at Bourne Woods on Friday, once again featuring Cavill’s Geralt.

The tip comes from our reader Harry, who was lucky enough to see Henry Cavill in costume. According to Harry and other onlookers who passed by the set, an entire section of the forest was decorated with fake snow and smoke effects. If you wish to avoid SPOILERS for the second season, avoid the next few paragraphs.

According to Harry, filming took place on the forest floor, where Geralt was apparently being held captive and tied to a tree. Though our source has not seen other actors on location, it’s likely that Geralt’s captors (whoever they may be) were also there for this shoot. Our source also believes that the original Roach, the brown horse Zeus, was on location, indicating that this scene will happen before Geralt gets a new horse.

Netflix have tightened up security in light of the week’s leaks and pictures, so the local onlookers were not able to grab pictures of the set. They do insist, however, that the crew has done an amazing job with the fake snow and we’ll have to take their word for it.

This has been an interesting week for Witcher news. We don’t know yet if location filming will continue into next week or if the cast and crew will return to Arborfield Studios, where filming is held in utmost secrecy. In case you’ve missed yesterday’s news, we have found the actress who will portray the badass Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia.

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...
