The Witcher Season 2 to introduce Nenneke and the Temple of Melitele

Many fans of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books waited for the Temple of Melitele and the introduction of the relationship between Geralt and the priestess Nenneke in the first season of The Witcher. The producers decided not to adapt the short story The Voice of Reason, but the temple was briefly mentioned in the third episode. Some fans were even wondering whether we would see the Melitele storyline at all this season. We can now confirm and reassure everyone that yes, the Temple of Melitele will be present in The Witcher Season 2.

We have come to learn that actress and model Natasha Fletcher will play an unnamed priestess at the Temple of Melitele in The Witcher Season 2, most likely a background character.

But more importantly, after asking our sources about this, we were also able to confirm that high priestess Nenneke will also be appearing in the second season. The priestess, who is an important figure for Geralt, often healed him of severe wounds and cared for him like a mother. This time she will try to teach and look after Ciri.

At the moment, we do not know who plays Nenneke, but we are doing everything we can to get this information. One notable candidate for that role, however, is actress Julie Barclay (Broadchurch, Casualty) who we reported about several weeks ago. As we wrote that time, we do know she is in Season 2, but we don’t know her role. She certainly fits the profile of Nenneke, but we will see if she is indeed her.

Other than mother Nenneke, we have come to learn that Iola and Jarre will also be appearing in the second season of The Witcher. A young priestess that will studies at the temple, and a young boy, studying to be a scribe. Like Nenneke, we haven’t learned who is playing them yet, but we are trying to find out.

The Melitele storyline from Blood of Elves is a fan-favorite and rightfully so. After all this is where Ciri meets Yennefer for the first time and that’s when they start building their mother-daughter relationship. The relationship that was in full swing when we saw the two in photographs several months ago.

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...
