The Witcher Season 3 begins filming!

On March 31, 2021 Season 2 of Netflix’s The Witcher wrapped production. Exactly one year later, today, on March 31, 2022, cameras started rolling for The Witcher Season 3 with Henry Cavill and Freya Allan.

Earlier this week we reported that stars of the show, Henry Cavill and Freya Allan arrived to Kranjska Gora, Slovenia to prepare for production. Thanks to our Slovenian readers Manca, Lakhitia, Bullguard, deezphatbidge and Fearless Yautja we know the approximate schedule for this and next week’s filming.

On a side note, another male cast member was spotted, but couldn’t be identified as he was wearing a mask and hid his face so he wouldn’t be recognized. Do we know a secretive male cast member of The Witcher? As to who else is filming, we haven’t heard anything concrete.

Filming begins in Laghi di Fusine, Italy

After some confusion, it has been cleared that filming for The Witcher Season 3 will indeed begin in Italy. More precisely at the pair of gorgeous lakes very close to the Slovenian border called Laghi di Fusine. It appears that there won’t be any filming at Kranjska Gora as it only serves as a mini-hub for The Witcher crew and the accommodation for the horses.

Filming at the lakes will presumably take one or two days, after which, during the weekend cast and crew will pack up and move south. Our reader Manca confirmed upon visiting that there’s plenty of activity there today on March 31 as well as a lot of snow.

Filming to continue at the Predjama Castle

Cameras for Season 3 will reportedly resume rolling on April 4 and 5 at the Predjama Castle. We haven’t heard whether filming will be in the interior or the exterior or at the caves there. Nevertheless, the scouting team certainly have a great eye for beautiful locations.

Further filming at Nanos plateau

After the Predjama Castle, filming is planned to move to the Nanos peak, not too far from the castle. In fact, producer Steve Gaub shared a picture from Nanos peak. Gaub was recently very busy doing some final scouting and recce in Italy, Croatia and Slovenia.

So far the European schedule for The Witcher Season 3 looks like this.

  • March 31 and April 1: Filming begins at Laghi di Fusine, Italy
  • April 2 and 3: Transportation/weekend break
  • April 4 and 5: Filming at the Predjama Castle
  • Same week: Filming at the Nanos plateau
  • Later: Croatia (somewhere around Pula and Krk Island)

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...
