Behind the scenes photos of Ciri’s nightmares, and a mysterious figure in The Witcher Season 2

The last leg of the filming of The Witcher season 2 continues in Arborfield Studios, and while the main leads Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, and Freya Allan continue filming, many others have wrapped the season. The cast and crew have been meeting the press and everything seems set to wrap filming by the very last days of March.

Meanwhile, we have come across some very interesting behind-the-scenes photos pertaining to Ciri’s nightmares and/or visions. The first photo shows Freya Allan (Ciri) in her Season 1 costume and the second is a mysterious figure wearing a cloak. The red lighting is very reminiscent of scenes of Ciri’s nightmares in Season 1 and we believe these are scenes of her visions in Season 2.

For a moment we did believe these were maybe a throwback to Season 1, but then we took a closer look and saw the face masks, something we never had to wear in our old lives back in the day.

Then we have the mysterious shadowy figure. Is that someone Ciri knows or will know eventually? Maybe this is a man who is dancing on the barrows of his enemies? Or is that a woman? Very hard to tell.

Ciri’s visions are recurring themes in the books with some of them taking the form of prophecies. Season 1 did not explore the theme too much with most of Ciri’s visions being nightmares.

  • Ciri in the same nightmare seeing the fall of Cintra

We are curious to know how this vital theme will be handled in Season 2. And who is this mysterious figure? What role does this person play in Ciri’s life? While these questions will definitely be answered before the end of 2021 when Season 2 airs, we are curious to know your thoughts on it.

Parts of Season 2 are already in post-production, and the season is expected to stream in the second half of 2021. Stay tuned to Redanian Intelligence for more filming updates.

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...
