<\/p>\nThe hit Netflix series The Witcher has officially wrapped up physical production on the upcoming second season.<\/p>\n
The news was initially broken by team member Jacqueline Rathore, who made a post to her Instagram Story on Tuesday to let her followers know that shooting had finished for the upcoming episodes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Part of the text included with the post read, ‘We are wrapped on Witcher 2!’
\nRathore later took to her story to clarify that a majority of the work had been completed but that the season’s official wrap date was set for April 1st.<\/p>\n
Production on the second set of episodes began in early 2020 but was quickly halted due to the onset of the global pandemic<\/p>\n

After months of delays, principal photography resumed in August of last year and stretched until November, when shooting was shut down as a result of an outbreak of COVID-19 among the series’ crew.<\/p>\n

Last December, Henry Cavill suffered an injury while filming an action scene and required assistance in filming his subsequent scenes, as the 37-year-old was often costumed in heavy armor
\nAfter the show’s team dealt with the performer’s impairment, filming continued as planned and officially wrapped up on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Witcher follows the dynamic between monster hunter Geralt of Rivia and princess Ciri of Cintra, portrayed by Cavill and Freya Allan, respectively.<\/p>\n

The sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg, played by Anya Chalotra, also factors heavily in the show’s storyline.<\/p>\n
The Netflix adaptation is based on the book series of the same name, written by Andrzej Sapkowski, who has authored six Witcher-related novels in addition to various other short stories.<\/p>\n
The project was initially envisioned as a film, although the producers eventually changed their minds and began developing it as a show.<\/p>\n
Other adaptations include a highly successful video game series as well as a Polish standalone film and television series, both of which were released in 2002.<\/p>\n
The Witcher’s first season was released in December of 2019 and received primarily positive critical attention, with much praise going towards Cavill’s performance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
An upcoming 2D animated film entitled The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, was confirmed to be in production last year and is set to make its debut in the near future.<\/p>\n
Netflix also announced that a prequel to the show, entitled Blood Origin, was being developed in July of 2020.
\nDuring an interview with Vulture, The Witcher’s showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich spoke about the changes in storytelling that the writing team would employ in the series’ upcoming second season.<\/p>\n
‘The stories will be told in a much more linear fashion. They won\u2019t all be one story. It\u2019s not like all three are together and happy all the time. But, I do want to employ some different ways to look at time series-wise,’ she said.<\/p>\n
The showrunner also expressed her enthusiasm for the future episodes and noted that they would contain much more character development than many of the show’s fans might expect.<\/p>\n
She remarked, ‘sometimes we just get to sit with characters and learn about them a little bit more. And that\u2019s probably the thing I\u2019m most excited for people to see.’<\/p>\n
