In what has been a less than usual year for everyone,The Witcher’sproduction team is probably starting to come to terms how the rest of theirfilming schedule will pan out. So farThe Witcherhas suffered not one, but two production halts related to COVID-19 and it looks like they’re handling quite well.
Last week’s delaywas down to four crew members testing positive for the coronavirus which prompted swift prevention protocols to be put in place to avoid further spread. Even though it’s not exactly known how these setbacks will affectThe Witcher’sprojected air date for summer 2021, both the show’s producer and Netflix are yet to officially announce any delays or compromises to that goal.

Of course, most of the information made public regardingThe Witcher’sprogress and filming updates does not come from official sources, but rather in the form of leaks, in this case Redanian Intelligencereporting new photoshave surfaced that show the crew has picked up where they left off last week.
The Witcheris currently filming in South East England around the counties of Surrey and Reading, with the latter being home to Arborfield Studios where much of the filming that involves towns takes place, though none of series’ stars were confirmed to be there working in this latest leak.
It would seem likeThe Witcher’sproduction team is instead making the best of their current situation by not missing a single beat and continuing to work with essential personnel that can get ahead on separate tasks whenever they can. This is usual for any filming crew, but is probably more important now than ever as studios continue to adapt to working in the midst of a pandemic with the constant warning that production may be suddenly paused at any given time.
However, sinceThe Witcher’ssecond season is probably a long way from finished it is expected that the filming crew will be doing a lot of moving from one place to another, like Frensham Little Pond where horses and carriages used are still stationed. No exact word onRoach’s whereabouts at the momentthough.
The Witcherseason two is coming to Netflix in 2021.
