Production on season three of 'The Witcher' has reportedly halted after star Henry Cavill tested positive for COVID.
Season 3 of Netflix’s hit fantasy series The Witcher has reportedly halted production as lead star Henry Cavill tested positive for COVID. According to the site Redanian Intelligence, production on Season 3 was stopped on July 25, without previous warning, just as the series got ready to shoot a big battle scene coming straight from the books.
This is not the first time the pandemic's prevented fans from returning to the Continent as quickly as possible. Production of Season 2 was also halted due to the pandemic back in 2020, pushing the release of the season to December 2021. So far, Season 3 doesn't have a release date. However, since the show was in the middle of production, fans hoped to find out what happened next for Geralt of Rivia , Ciri , and Yennefer in early 2023 at the latest.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Extending a production calendar is no easy task, as stars are usually busy with other projects and cannot be available outside the previously defined dates. Besides that, since The Witcher is currently one of the biggest Netflix productions, any delay affects thousands of people involved in the production, from cast members to the general crew.
Season 3 of The Witcher will adapt The Time of Contempt, the second entry in Andrzej Sapkowski’s five-book series, The Witcher Saga. The book explores Geralt and Ciri’s relationship as they learn more about the girl’s power. In the book, Geralt also must let go of his neutral position towards the Continent politics as different forces start to hunt Ciri.
There’s still no release date for The Witcher Season 3 or The Witcher: Blood Origin. While we wait for news on Season 3 production, check out our interview with creator and showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich about the seven-season plan for the show.
