This is so refreshing! In a time when the news cycle is being dominated by covid cases and the madness of an election, the world is getting a reprive via Netflix releasing the hype train upon us for The Witcher's second season! With rumors already circulating that a season three is already green lit, the global smash hit is taking it up a notch with Princess Cirilla and her role this coming season. In Freya Allen's own words via her Instagram, Cirilla, or perhaps now 'Ciri' is "A fighter". Judging from the two images that we've seen, we are expecting a much more battle tested Ciri and one that has trained with Geralt! Check out the images for yourself below:

There's no denying that Covid-19 has disrupted the entire world and with it the filming industry as a whole. But, with new protections in place and governments easing restrictions, the show, as they say, must go on! Filming on The Witcher season 2 is back underway and as we reported earlier, Henry Cavil himself shared with us Geralt of Rivia's new look for the second season of the record breaking Netflix show. While fans, and ourselves, are going bonkers over the new look, Netflix wasn't done exciting fans today. A new synopsis for season two has been released and has set the tone for what we should expect.

Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.

Just from reading the synopsis we can tell the beginning of the season will be Geralt and Cirilla heavy. Should we expect more split timelines between Geralt Cirilla and Yennifer? We'll have to wait and see.

Production on The Witcher season two is going relatively smoothly post quarantine shut down. Weeks ago, at least two episodes out of eight have been completed, with the cast sharing a few images during that time.

Today Henry Cavill blessed his timeline with a huge update to Geralt’s costume. This season, costume designer Lucinda Wright has a style massively redesigned from Tim Aslam’s version previously.

It may turn out,’ said the white-haired man a moment later, ‘that their comrades or cronies may ask what befell these evil men. Tell them the Wolf bit them. The White Wolf. And add that they should keep glancing over their shoulders. One day they’ll look back and see the Wolf.’" - From the writings of Andrzej Sapkowski

At the time, the news that director Alik Sakharov (Ozark, Game of Thrones, House of Cards) was exiting The Witcher had been puzzling. From being slated to direct half of the first season’s episodes, Sakharov wound up only directing the second episode. Any materials shot for the other episodes, including the epic fight in Blaviken in the show’s premiere, were re-shot by Mark Jobst.

In a recent interview with Forbes Russia, Sakharov revealed some details as to his exit, primarily citing creative differences regarding his vision, and what the showrunners wanted. Where Sakharov wanted to focus more on the fight, the higher-ups wanted more special effects and a faster-paced energy to the scenes.

In my perception, Eastern-European literature has a completely different pace. It is no coincidence that Andrzej Sapkowski has so many storylines and characters.

The producers set the task of setting the adaptation at an action pace and filling it with colorful special effects. That was their vision. My vision was very different and I tried to convey it to them, giving my arguments. Unfortunately, I was not considered convincing enough, so I decided to leave the project.

Inevitably, it led to Sakharov parting ways with the project, though he had nothing but good things to say about Henry Cavill and what he brought to the role, and the feeling is mutual, as Cavill appreciates Sakharov’s approach to filming.
