Writing begins for The Witcher Season 3!

We have approximately six months until the release of The Witcher‘s second season on Netflix, and while we’re excited to meet our favorites again, we’re also excited to be looking into the future of the show. The future being the third season. While Netflix hasn’t officially announced The Witcher‘s renewal yet, it’s only just a matter of time as the work on it is already beginning.

We’ve heard from our sources that writing for Season 3 of The Witcher has finally begun very recently, despite the lack of an official announcement. The writing team will largely be the same as well with perhaps some promotions.

So when will Season 3 begin filming then? Well, this is a little complicated. Henry Cavill is key here and his schedule is the solution.

In August 2021 he starts his new film called Argylle with a big stellar cast, then he will move on to Enola Holmes 2 where he plays a slightly smaller role which he may complete quicker. Neither project, though, will interfere with any Season 3 plans as the Witcher crew will be busy with The Witcher: Blood Origin from August to November/December 2021.

After that we’re only reliant on a sentence seen in the Deadline announcement of another one of the upcoming Henry Cavill projects, The Rosie Project. Deadline claimed this was expected to shoot at the beginning of 2022. On the other hand things might change and The Rosie Project might get pushed back until after Henry is done with Season 3.

On our own side, we’ve heard that they are very eager to get Season 3 underway as soon as it is possible with as few delays as they can permit.

Either way, by our estimates, we’re looking at a Q1/Q2 2022 production start for Season 3 of The Witcher. And a release inevitably in 2023 at this rate.

Looks like we’ll be getting new Witcher content for a few years still! As Nightmare of the Wolf, filming of Blood Origin and the release of Season 2 approach, we’re excited for more. Stay tuned!

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...
