The Witcher Season 2 to Resume Production on August 17

Netflix has announced that principal photography on The Witcher Season 2 will officially resume in the UK on August 17. The Twitter account for the smash hit series confirmed that filming would resume in just under two months via a nifty little ditty, written in the poetic style of fan-favourite bard Jaskier.

"I'm dusting off my lute and quill, I have some news, some mead to spill: After all the months we've been apart it's time for production to restart. The Witcher and his bard – who's flawless, will reunite on set 17 August," the post read. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/21/the-witcher-season-1-ending-explained"] The Witcher season 2 suspended its production in London back in March, as Netflix paused filming on all of its films and TV shows in the US and Canada in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, several productions have recently been given the "green light" to take their first steps back into production after a new mandate of safety protocols were approved in the UK. "This is a green light that signals that the UK is open for business again for film and high-end TV production," an industry source told The Guardian at the beginning of June. "Many productions have to get up and running again in the next two months or they won't get made this year as they rely on summer weather and conditions."

Although showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has stood by this as a storytelling device, she has promised that the second season will be more streamlined, now that the characters' individual stories have intersected to exist on the "same timeline." The Witcher Season 2 is due to stream on Netflix in 2021. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Adele Ankers is a Freelance Entertainment Journalist. You can reach her on Twitter.
