The Witcher Season 3 to film in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia

The world of The Witcher which is called The Continent is heavily inspired by Europe and Andrzej Sapkowski even named a good amount of locations and characters after real European locations such as Montecalvo or Angouleme. For that it was nice to see Netflix to make an effort to film the first season in mainland Europe. Season 2 had such plans as well, but they were never realized because of the pandemic. But that will change once again as The Witcher is preparing its return to Europe for Season 3.

We have learned that Season 3 of The Witcher will film in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. Filming is to start at the beginning of March in the Italian province of South Tyrol (Province of Bolzano), then move further east to Slovenia. Finally, filming will move to Croatia for about 10 days at the very end of March until early April. We’re still investigating the exact locations that are to be used in each country.

In fact, Freya Allan is currently in Milan, Italy attending a Versace Fashion show, which is not too far from South Tyrol already. Perhaps she will fly there soon to start her Season 3 filming.

Overall, filming for the entire season is supposed to take approximately 21-22 weeks, meaning that if everything goes well and there are no unexpected delays and accidents, filming for The Witcher Season 3 should conclude by late July/early August 2022.

All three of the aforementioned countries are new for The Witcher as the production has never been there before. Italy has been a staple in international productions since it hosted such projects as The Godfather, Wonder Woman, The Italian Job, House of Gucci, No Time to Die and countless more. Slovenia has hosted fewer, but also famous projects as Chronicles of Narnia and Jackie Chan’s Armour of God.

Croatia, on the other hand, will be known for many recent fantasy and TV fans as it has been a staple in almost every season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, offering many of its gorgeous locations for King’s Landing and other iconic places.

With so much location filming, we can hope and expect many set photos from locals as well as paparazzis. Hopefully we’ll see some exciting pictures of Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan and perhaps other series regulars!

Are you excited for The Witcher returning to Europe and a potentially fruitful picture season? Let us know and 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 !

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...
