news culture The Witcher Netflix: The filming of season 3 can be completed!
After two seasons that were hits on Netflix, The Witcher will soon be back on SVOD for Season 3! Presented as very ambitious, this upcoming season is in full production and we await the announcement of a release date.
Season 2 of The Witcher was significantly influenced by the Covid-19 pandemicthat halted production forced production to review and implement schedules strict rules.
Even a witch can get sick
Despite everything, the season was finally released on Netflix in December 2021, and this one went down pretty well, mainly because the episodes follow each other and offer a more readable story. Less disturbed by the virus without sacrificing barrier gestures, production Season 3 started quickly, which we should expect less than the previous one. But at the end of July, when the teams had to film a big fight scene, Henry Cavill, who plays Geralt de Riv, has fallen ill.
The actor fell ill with Covid-19 and had to leave the set and isolate as a result time to recover. A situation that has filming was temporarily suspendedbut Lauren S. Hissrich and her teams modified the program too shoot a number of scenes without the actor waiting. Not an easy decision, because many imperatives exist, be it in terms of actors, locations, sets or costumes.
Changes come at a price, and they do caused a delay in the delivery of the rushes to the editorial office. Redanian Intelligence, a highly reliable site for everything related to the world of Andrzej Sapkowski, recently announced that production has halted despite the change in shooting schedule is no longer planned for the end of August but for the beginning of September. A slight delay, but a delay nonetheless.
Return of Henry Cavill and end of filming in sight!
This weekend the site came back to its readers and the public with new information, and it’s pretty good! The end of the shooting should end well in mid-September, which may not have any impact on the release date of Season 3 and Henry Cavill, recovering without consequences, returned to the set. The scenes set aside can therefore be filmed. After that, everything is sent to the engines, which are probably already working on some sequences, to create the episodes that subscribers will receive Netflix will have access.
In the third season of The Witcher we therefore find Henry Cavill, Ciri (Freya Allan) and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) Jaskier (Joey Batey), but also new actors such as Ryan Hayes, Michalina Olszanska, Kate Winter, Martyn Ellis, and Harvey Quinn Poppy Almond. This new season will see Geralt continues to train Ciriwho must learn to defend against many enemies, including the Wild Hunt, but also to Master its immense powers. This will go through a stay at Aretuza, the fortress on the island of Thanedd where young wizards are trained. Unfortunately, Yennefer, Geralt, and Ciri will quickly find that the place has become a veritable crab basket, full of low crowds, conspiracies, and dangers.
As they wait to discover this new season that should be pointing the tip of their noses in 2023, subscribers will have normally access to The Witcher: Blood Originsa miniseries centered on the Birth and development of witcher schools after the conjunction of the spheres, a cosmic and magical phenomenon that suddenly captivated all dimensions for brief momentsand which allowed monsters to appear on the continent.
