Netflix unveils The Witcher Season 3 photo, plot details and directors

Filming for the third season of The Witcher finally started last week at Laghi di Fusine, Italy. Us and our readers knew about Henry Cavill and Freya Allan being there, and now Netflix has confirmed that Anya Chalotra was filming as well.

As Netflix put it, the family of Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer is back together again!

How will the filming take? According to our sources, filming is currently expected to wrap in September 2022, if nothing goes wrong. After that, we can expect 6-8 months of post-production and the new season may land itself on to the Netflix platform around Spring 2023.

Plot details of The Witcher Season 3

But that’s not all: Netflix has also shared the synopsis for the upcoming season, which definitely is inspired by Andrzej Sapkowski’s Time of Contempt:

That’s definitely an interesting glimpse into what’s to come! Yennefer leading Geralt and Ciri to Aretuza is a twist on some later events of Time of Contempt, but official plot summaries hardly ever show things the way they are so we probably shouldn’t expect Geralt to spend the entire season in Aretuza. One thing is for certain, there will be much more Aretuza, judging by the synopsis.

As far as the story goes, we know two other things: Season 3 of The Witcher starts off with Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer attending the Belleteyn festival and ends with the iconic Thanedd coup. What happens between those two points and how it happens is anyone’s guess now.

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...
