The Witcher to make an early crucial reveal in Season 2

We are eagerly awaiting for some exciting news at the Lucca Comics & Games Festival on October 29 where Netflix will present The Witcher alongside showrunner Lauren Hissrich, Joey Batey, Kim Bodnia, costume designer Lucinda Wright and production designer Andrew Laws. But before that happens, we figured sweeten the wait with some other info we managed to get recently.

Warning: book spoilers if you haven’t read them!

Probably every Witcher book fan who has seen the show at one point has wondered, how would Netflix handle the Emhyr Var Emreis/Duny reveal since the books can do it easily, but in the show actual actors are involved and that can be quite tricky. Even trickier if you consider that more than half of the fandom has played The Witcher 3 and that particular reveal isn’t really a reveal to them.

Now we have learned that Netflix has decided not to try and prolong this “secret” for several seasons and reveal that Duny is Emhyr in Season 2 instead. That will be done subtly towards the end of the season with a face reveal. Moreover, Bart Edwards’ character has been referred to as “Duny/Emhyr” on multiple occasions during the production.

While the book version of the reveal will forever be more satisfying and interesting, this change is completely understandable from a practical standpoint since Netflix’s The Witcher doesn’t recast its characters with older versions of themselves which we have seen on multiple occasions in the first season.

Lucca Comics & Games is less than a week away and that means an official trailer may be around the corner as well! Stay tuned for more news!

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...
