The Witcher Season 3 to introduce a fan-favorite female character

After The Witcher Season 2 touched on Andrzej Sapkowski’s Blood of Elves, fans were anxious about how much of Time of Contempt would Season 3 feature. Milva aka Maria Barring in particular was a person of high interest in these discussions as she’s a fan-favorite among book readers as well as someone who’s introduction could either be in Season 3 or Season 4.

Discussions sparked again after it was reported that Netflix was casting a female character codenamed “Marylebone”, who had a “razor-sharp wit and was forced to mature quickly in order to survive in a cruel world”. Immediately many thought that this sounds very much like Milva.

After doing our own investigation into this, we were able to confirm that Milva will indeed be introduced in The Witcher Season 3. We also found out that towards the end of the season she will interact with Henry Cavill‘s Geralt of Rivia and assist him in a dire situation, marking that the start of their journey together and the very early beginnings of the iconic Hansa.

The casting for “Marylebone” was for a series regular position, so it’s very likely that Milva’s arc will begin independently of Geralt and much earlier than the two will meet. Here’s the casting description for the character:

“Marylebone possesses not only a razor sharp wit but a quick blade as well. Her age belies her experience, for she has been forced to mature quickly and learn to survive in a cruel world.”

The part about Marylebone/Milva possessing a quick blade and the lack of mention of her signature archery skills is raising eyebrows quite a bit, but it could also be somewhat of a red herring. We shall see where the series goes with this.

In addition to that, when referring to characters of Marylebone and Picadilly in the casting call, Netflix was “hoping” to cast LGBTQ+ actors for “one or both” of those roles.

The Witcher Season 3 is currently in pre-production for a 2023 release. Are you looking forward to seeing Milva in the new season? Let us know! Meanwhile here are two directors that we already know to be working on Season 3:

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...
