The photo, a detailed map of a skull resting next to several volumes on a shelf, served to set aside one of the most important stages in the production of the new episodes, which will now move on to digital editing and retouching.

This end of filming comes after the team spent months filming in locations as diverse as Italy, Predjama Castle in Slovenia, Wales, Morocco, the Sahara Desert, Croatia and England; Y after a certain pause caused by a coronavirus outbreak. At the end of July ‘The Witcher’ was forced to stop recording, which was taking place in the UK at the time, due to a few cases of COVID that did not materialize. Rumors suggested that Henry Cavill himself was testing positive, but the North American media The Hollywood Reporter tried to counter the data without success. Despite this small setback, plans continued thanks to the production team reorganizing the work to focus those days on scenes that didn’t require the presence of its star.

“We’ve finished filming the third season of ‘The Witcher'”, says Gaub now, marking the start of a post-production that would take several months to prepare for the next chapters. Therefore, although season 2 was released in December 2021, The third is unlikely to be ready by the end of this year, so we’ll have to be patient until Netflix confirms the release date.
