Henry Cavill is recovering from “a minor leg muscle injury” sustained on the set of season two of Netflix’s The Witcher. Evidently, Cavill hurt his leg on “an assault course, working at a height of 20ft while wearing a safety harness.”
But don’t worry too much. Cavill will return to work soon. And in the meantime, the show will continue filming around him at Arborfield Studios, west of London. That is, until the series goes on a holiday hiatus later this month.
And it’s a good thing too. After all, the new season has halted production multiple times now. First, when Kristofer Hivju tested positive for COVID. Then when the UK went into lockdown. And in November following multiple positive COVID-19 cases.

Stay tuned for more season news as we hear it.
Here’s the new synopsis: “Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.”
In the meantime, remember that The Witcher is set on a fictional, medieval-inspired land known as “the Continent”, it explores the legend of Geralt of Rivia and princess Ciri, who are linked by destiny to each other. The show initially follows the three main protagonists at different points of time, exploring formative events that shaped their characters, before eventually merging into a single timeline.
Produced by Lauren Schmidt Hissrichbased on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, the first season sports a 67% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Though the world of The Witcher at times feels only half-formed, Henry Cavill brings brawny charisma to a series teeming with subversive fantasy elements and dark humor.
