If you’ve been itching to get your next fix of Henry Cavill – the wait is almost over.
Filming for season two of The Witcher will apparently kick off later this month across Scotland, England, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
Production will kick off on February 17 and shooting will take more than five and a half months, according to The Hook.
Most of the action will reportedly take place in the UK on the stunning Isle Of Skye in Scotland, ahead of the Netflix series’ release date in 2021.
Following a (literally) explosive series finale, fans have been desperate to know what happens to Henry Cavill’s Geralt, Anya Chalotra’s Yennefer and Freya Allen’s Ciri.
In terms of the cast, it’s been rumoured that Kristofer Hivju – aka Tormund from Game Of Thrones – will be appearing in season two.
Meanwhile, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich recently revealed season two will incorporate unused parts of the first Witcher saga novel Blood of Elves.
‘A lot of what we’ve set up in season one will come into play in season two,’ Lauren told the Radio Times.
‘We will get into some stuff from Blood of Elves. But I also think there are things that we wanted to adapt from The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny that we didn’t have time to do.’
She went on: ‘So to be blessed with a season two, and to know that we can go back and revisit some of those things, is really exciting. There will be a big mix of things.’
The Witcher has become an overnight success and was even named the most streamed Netflix series in the UK of 2019.
The fantasy series had fans binge watching in their droves following its launch on 20 December.
Who knew Henry Cavill in a long blond wig would do it for so many people?
