Has filming for The Witcher season 2 began?
Yes, producers have begun filming for the new series.
The series two storyline goes as follows: “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.”
In late February the Mail Online reported that members of the cast and production crew were seen in Surrey, filming scenes for the show.
Even so, producers confirmed it will not be released until early 2021 – but have not given an exact date.
The creator, executive producer and showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich, has said the reason for this is, ” we want to make sure that everyone on our team gets the time to do their job and do it to the best of their ability, So we’re making sure we have a lot of built-in cushion time for Season 2 so we don’t cram anything in at the last minute.”
