The Witcher is filming an action sequence in a Nilfgaardian stronghold

March has come and we are now in the final few weeks of Netflix’s production of The Witcher Season 2. Last time we reported that The Witcher was filming a major action sequence that involves elves. We also knew that some of the Nilfgaardian cast have been filming lately and suggested that the empire could also be involved. Now we know for sure.

It appears that some of the action revolves around a Nilfgaardian stronghold or a castle. This is not a real castle somewhere in the UK, but a set that was entirely built by the extremely talented and hard-working crew at Arborfield Studios, so big props to them.

Perhaps this Nilfgaardian set is a part of the massive town lot that has been under construction since October/November 2019 and one part of it was built as a Nilfgaardian location, while others could accommodate scenes from Oxenfurt, Gors Velen and others. Or perhaps the location could even be Nilfgaardian-held Cintra.

Like we have been reporting lately, both Eamon Farren (Cahir) and Mimi Ndiweni (Fringilla) have been present lately on set as well as Tom Canton (Filavandrel), Mecia Simson (Francesca) and Kaine Zajaz (Gage) along with a good number of extras and stuntpeople.

It’s hard to say what this storyline exactly is, but it will certainly be curious to watch it unfold when the season is finally released this year.

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...
