That's a wrap on The Witcher season 2!
After a long and difficult shoot, production has finally concluded on the upcoming second season of the fantasy adventure series, and Netflix has released a new behind-the-scenes photo of star Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, along with a featurette to mark the end of filming.
The video finds Cavill thanking the cast and crew as they prepare to leave the set, as well as an interview with showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. We also get some brief BTS shots of Cavill, Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) and Freya Allan (Ciri) in costume.
We're still waiting on a trailer, but this updated Season 2 synopsis will give fans some idea of what to expect when the show returns (no premiere date has been set).
"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."
