The Witcher’s Liz Carr talks Codringher and Fenn, a surprising visit from Istredd and more

The premiere of the second season of The Witcher on Netflix is fast approaching and there are only two weeks left. Until December 17, we’re hoping to see a lot of promotional material, such as today’s revelation of the infamous detective duo Codringher and Fenn in full costume.

In a recent interview with whattowatch, Liz Carr, who plays Fenn talked about her character and experience on the sets of The Witcher and we’re here to break it down for you.

Liz Carr: “If you want to know anything in this world, then they’re the people to ask”

Codringher and Fenn are a famous duo of lawyers who run a law firm and detective agency based in the town of Dorian. If you need to find out something, bury something, or make a problem dissappear, they’re the ones to talk to… provided you have the money.

Interestingly, Carr let drop that Codringher and Fenn will get a a visit from everyone’s favorite archaeologist Istredd (Royce Pierreson):

If you want to know anything in this world, then they’re the people to ask, and Istredd wants answers to Cirilla’s bloodline, who she is and where she comes from. But whether they can tell him remains to be seen

This certainly exlains why Codringher and Fenn are introduced relatively early in the story, as in the books they make their first appearance in the second installment of the saga Time of Contempt. It also provides food for speculation about Istredd’s role in the new season. It seems the sorcerer will get involved in Ciri’s affairs. What is he trying to find out and what are his reasons?

It may simply have to do with his meeting with Geralt in Cintra. But was is he simply following Geralt’s request to find information on Ciri or does he have an ulterior motive?

Carr revealed that she got to use the Elder Speech, suggesting that Codringher’s and Fenn’s inquiries may have to do with information about the Elder Blood. Something that should come as no surprise to readers of the novel: “For a start I had a translator! Some of the words I use are Elven words, so I had to work with a dialect coach to learn how to say them, which was a joy and also very funny.“

Interestingly, she also confirmed that Geralt will not meet Codringher and Fenn, at least not in Season 2. She regrets not having met Henry Cavill, but hopes to get another chance:

“Unfortunately I didn’t get any scenes with him! I might have seen him in the lunch queue, but to be fair that could have been a stunt double! But Simon Callow and I would love to go back for another series, so you never know!”

For more information about Fenn, how it was to work alongside Simon Callow and the logistics of using a wooden wheelchair, make sure to read the whole great interview at whattowatch.

Things are looking good for a return of Codringher and Fenn in Season 3. If the books are anything to go by, their path will be an interesting one!

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...
