Fans would happy to know that the filming for The Witcher Season 2 is complete. The production has officially wrapped up shooting. The news has been shared by the showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich in a behind-the-scenes video posted on the official YouTube page of the streamer.

The YouTube video starts with Henry Cavill (played as Geralt of Rivia), thanking the cast and crew members for their hard work in Season 2 of Witcher.

“That is a wrap on season two of The Witcher. It is hard to believe it’s been over a year since we kicked off this season in typical Witcher fashion in a freezing cold forest in the middle of the night,” Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said in the video.

“Since then, we’ve shot for 158 days with at least one unit, sometimes two, sometimes three, all while decked out in face shields, face masks, and goggles and slathered in hand sanitizer. We cannot wait to show you what Geralt, and Ciri, and Yennefer, and Jaskier, and all of your favorites have been up to since we left them at the Battle of Sodden Hill,” she added.

“There are plenty of new characters and storylines, and of course, monsters, to explore as well, as we dig into the Blood of Elves and beyond,” Hissrich said.

The upcoming season was under production for long period. The filming for The Witcher Season 2 started in February 2020. The production was delayed several times and faced many issues. Earlier the filming was closed temporarily due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
