The Witcher prepares for filming at Frensham Little Pond

Not long ago, The Witcher‘s star Henry Cavill and the stunt double of costar Anya Chalotra were photographed while filming at Frensham Little Pond in Surrey, England. Since then, Netflix has halted production and schedules were shifted around. Thanks to a tip from our sources and photos from local Sara Talib, we can now confirm that the Netflix production will film at the pond throughout the next two weeks.

According to the National Trust’s website, filming will last between November 23 and November 26, although the crew has already visited the site for a rehearsal on Saturday (November 21). We have also heard that filming could last up to two weeks in this location, so it’s not yet clear how long the crew will film there.

What scenes will be filmed near the pond? Well, it seems that filming of the scene involving Geralt and Yennefer will continue, and another scene (related or not) will feature numerous wagons. We have speculated in the past that the scene featuring the wagons could be the show’s adaption of a chapter from Blood of Elves where Geralt, Triss, and Ciri accompany the dwarven warrior Yarpen Zigrin as he leads a convoy of caravans through dangerous territory. A recent tweet from Jeremy Crawford who plays Zigrin in the show suggests this could indeed be the case.

Crawford replied to a tweet by Tom Canton (who portrays the elven King Filavandrel) with the hashtag #BackToWork, suggesting that Yarpen and Filavandrel may share a scene in the show. Recently, Triss actress Anna Schaffer has also returned to the set, so all the relevant actors are in place for an adaption of Blood of Elves‘ caravan sequence. Of course, this could be something else entirely. We can’t wait to find out!

We’re excited to learn more of filming at Frensham Pond. Stay tuned for more updates 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...
