By now you've likely heard that Henry Cavill has injured himself during a shoot for The WItcher. United Kingdom media giant The Sun, reported the news first on Cavill's injury. A source close to the show had this to say regarding the injury, "He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury." This took place while Henry was suspended 20 feet in the air for a major scene. While the title of The Sun's article alludes to the production schedule going into chaos, Deadline.com has now also shared the news but notes that any impact to production is not heavily felt due to the coming holiday shut down. It would seem if Cavill had to sustain any injury, this is a perfect time for the show to absorb it.

IMDb’s STARmeter Awards winners have been released, and among them is The Witcher’s very own Anya Chalotra. Chalotra, who plays Yennefer of Vengerberg, won the Breakout award by being #1 in the Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2020, after spending four consecutive weeks in the #1 spot for IMDb’s STARmeter chart, and then another 4 weeks after that within the Top 10. 

Chalotra has also gained a prestigious #3 spot in the overall ranking of IMDB’s Top 10 Stars of 2020, where fellow Witcher actor Henry Cavill rounds off the list as #10. And they’re not the only ones, Freya Allan also snagged a spot as #9 in the Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2020. In an acceptance video shot from home, Chalotra notes how honored she is to accept the award:

“It is hugely exciting to be named IMDb’s Breakout Star of 2020, to follow in the footsteps of so many brilliant actors, it’s an honor. I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has taken an interest and supported my work this year, via IMDb, I feel incredibly lucky to also receive the IMDb STARmeter Award — my very first award ever — from IMDb and IMDbPro.”

After a brief shut down due to positive COVID tests earlier in November, the cast and crew continue to work safely on season two. Today it was learned that actor Rebecca Hanssen (Enola Holmes, A Christmas Carol) has been cast as the role of Queen Meve.

According to Redanian Intelligence and Hanssen’s CV, she will be directed by Sarah O’ Gorman and Ed Bazalgette. With each director involved with two episodes each, Gorman with episodes 3 and 4, and Bazalgette helming 5 and 8, Hanssen’s involvement could be a sizeable one this season.

In the books written by Andrzej Sapkowski, Queen Meve is the head strong leader of Lyria. Although widowed in the books she is a force to reckoned with, and a formidable foe in battle. Hanssen seems young in comparison to the books, but if casting choices by Sophie Holland are anything to go by, she will conquer her scenes beautifully.
