The Witcher Season 3: Henry Cavill Filmed 2 Weeks of Fight Scenes
With production for The Witcher season 3 currently underway, star Henry Cavill reveals he’s filmed two weeks of fight scenes. Inspired by the work of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski and CD Projekt’s video games, Netflix’s The Witcher follows Cavill as the eponymous monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia. Alongside him are Anya Chalotra as the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Freya Allan as Ciri of Cintra—Geralt’s Child of Surprise with the power to transform the Continent. While season 1 adapted stories from Sapkowski’s The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, season 2 looked to Blood of Elves for its inspiration.
In season 2 Geralt and Ciri traveled to Kaer Morhen and met witchers led by Kim Bodnia’s Vesemir. Throughout the season, it was revealed that Ciri has Elder blood and is connected to an Elven prophecy tied to the fate of the world. Despite significant departures from the source material, viewership and critical reception for The Witcher season 2 were strong and it became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows ever. Filming for The Witcher season 3 began in April and season 4 is already being mapped out, which means Geralt is poised to swing his sword for quite some time.
