After stopping production earlier this year due to the health crisis, it looks like The Witcher has resumed production for its second season in the UK a little earlier than expected.
Back in July Netflix had announced The Witcher would begin filming again on August 17th, but social media posts from showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich and series director Stephen Surjik show that their timetable got moved up with filming now resuming. Their posts also highlight the safety procedures they are putting in place with the UK’s health guidelines as various productions get back to work.
It's our fourth show together, and the farthest we've ever sat apart, but @SSurjik and I are ready to do this. https://t.co/9Qh4xaDvMY
