First images with the characters of The Witcher prequel ‘Blood Origin’

Cameras for The Witcher: Blood Origin have been rolling for over a month now, but compared to the original series, things have been relatively quiet and more relaxed. So far until now we haven’t got a chance to take a look at the characters portrayed by Michelle Yeoh, Sophia Brown, Laurence O’Fuarain and others, but today we take a step into the right direction.

Over the last few days the filming crew has been working in Freshnam Little Pond and this time around we have our very first little glimpse at the characters of The Witcher: Blood Origin.

Our person on site told us that there were four figures yesterday seemingly fighting an imaginary CGI creature with the help of a green pole. Then the next day the production was bigger and there were more actors/extras around with dark outfits and horses too.

The soldiers are said to have a sigil with a serpent. That would be the Serpent Clan to which Michelle Yeoh’s Scian belongs. As we mentioned before, Fjall was from the Dog Clan and Eile was from the Raven Clan.

although we didn’t catch any footage of those. Here is a short video of the initial scene:

Sadly, it’s all blurry, but from a first glance we can distinguish Huw Novelli‘s Callan ‘Brother Death’ in the tall bald man with a beard. He appears to carry either a big battleaxe or a hammer. The rest are said to be carrying a sword, knives and an axe. Novelli himself confirmed his presence in an Instagram story.

Sophia Brown‘s Eile is also confirmed to be one of them and presumably the one with the knives, but we can’t tell which one there is Eile. It would be only logical to assume that the other two are Laurence O’Fuarain‘s Fjall and Michelle Yeoh‘s Scian. Our correspondent mentioned that the figure in the brown cloak looked Asian, so that must be Michelle.

Additionally, it looks like Amy Murray aka Fenrik is also there as the actress flew over to London last week and is excited to start work.

Filming for Blood Origin outdoors isn’t over and we’re curious what else we might see over the next weeks. Stay tuned for more!

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...
