After a weekend off, The Witcher season 3 was due to resume filming on Monday, July 25 .
But this did not happen. Yesterday, rumors started circulating about Henry Cavill ‘s state of health .
Redanian Intelligence sources confirmed that Cavill has contracted Covid.
Filming is still suspended, we don’t know for how long and if it will also affect the rest of the cast and crew. Everything will depend on how quickly Cavill turns negative again.
However, this stop should not cause a significant delay, they should end between August / September 2022. The most ambitious sequence is scheduled for the month of August: the Thanedd Shot which will be attended by most of the entire cast.
Update
The platform confirmed the news to THR . He explained that the shooting was: “Suspended due to COVID and we will be back in operation as soon as it is safe to do so.” But unlike the rumors, they didn’t mention Cavill. The actor’s representative did not want to communicate the news.
