The Witcher: Season 3 Production Temporarily Stopped

Covid-19 continues to be a problem for the Netflix television series The Witcher.

This isn’t the first time The Witcher has been forced to halt filming in the UK due to Covid-19, with the series already halting production on its second season for a few weeks in 2020. The news comes amid unconfirmed online rumors that star Henry Cavill has tested positive for the virus, but streaming platform Netflix is ​​pleased to go on record that filming has been “paused due to Covid-19 and we will be up and running as soon as it will be safe.”

The third season of The Witcher will be delayed, but aimed at 2023

The third season of The Witcher doesn’t have a release date yet, but… The plot will continue from where the second season ended. The net closes on Ciri as Nilfgaard, Redania and the Kings of the North struggle to capture—or worse, kill—Cintra’s hatchling. Francesca and the other elves are also looking after Ciri, who is now under the protection of Geralt and Yennefer. Betrayal is expected to be at the center of the third season. Arethusa and his mages appear to be at odds over who they should serve, while Buttercup is pocketed by Dijkstra and Redania.
