Back in March, when the worldwide shutdowns related to Covid-19 began, Netflix's The Witcher became the first major UK based production to completely shut down filming due to coronavirus concerns. We now have some idea when production can resume, and it may not be until the first week of August!

Season 2 still had over 4 months of filming remaining, which might now be futher eloganted due to a ban on crowd and sex scenes - both of which are vital for an adult fantasy show like this. So production might stretch until Christmas or even beyond as adjustments are made with the new restrictions in place.

Lead star Henry Cavill hasn't been idle. He recently teamed up with director Zack Snyder to announe the release of the Snyder Cut on HBO Max. Since then rumors have been rife about an immindent return to the role of Superman. Cavill himself posted a gym selfie on his Instagram recently, sparking speculation that he was getting in shape again to reprise the role.

Hello, Old friend.

There is an expectation that Season 2 will be released in Summer 2021 if all goes to plan - 20 months after the release of the first Season in December 2019.

@TheDonOfGotham - His standards are higher. His co-star Luke Evans said of him that Cavill's out of shape would be 'best shape ever' for most men.

dracula
dracula - 6/10/2020, 6:01 PM
@MrCamw1 - another show you might want to add is Castlevania. for live action, I suggest,Penny Dreadful, Outlander and Warrior, although Warrior is on Cinemax
MrCamw1
MrCamw1 - 6/10/2020, 6:12 PM
@dracula - Penny Dreadful I binged like 2 years ago and loved it. Would have watched the new one but that trailer didnt feel like the original series.
dracula
dracula - 6/10/2020, 6:20 PM
@MrCamw1 - Still need to check out the new series as well. the spanish foak lore sounds cool, but man im gonna miss the classic book characters like Dracula, The Monster and Jekell

Glad to hear it. Didn’t care for The Witcher I made it 1.5 episodes before realizing I didn’t care at all and dropped out but I’m a fan of Henry Cavill and glad the show is seemingly back on track.

dracula - 6/10/2020, 5:43 PM
@Ha1frican - Yeah, hopefully the writing gets better, Henry Cavil seriously needs better scripts. probably wont check it out again, but nice that he is getting work

Man already looks like a He-Man action figure. Any more time in the gym and he's going to cross into weird Liefeld proportions.
KingLeonidas

@Reeds2Much - He follows the Jackman doctrine. He said he tries to top his last physique pretty much every time.

@KingLeonidas - Jackman's dedication to keep getting in better shape for the role was awesome
KingLeonidas
KingLeonidas - 6/10/2020, 6:54 PM
@tmp3 - It was insane. He kept getting better and better achieving his best ever shape at 44. Crazy dedication.

@KingLeonidas - I used to watch Jackman's transformation videos for motivation when I first started lifting a few years ago, haha. He didn't have to go that hard, but I guess it shows a love for the character

Even from the shades on the front of the gym's mirror, he just straight outta from the comic and animated SUPERMAN.
KingLeonidas
KingLeonidas - 6/10/2020, 6:14 PM
@solskulldeath - Maybe he will get another shot at the role. Who knows.
dracula
dracula - 6/10/2020, 6:28 PM
@solskulldeath - hell in some pictures he looks like how the padded suits try to make the actors look

Hope it's better than season 1.
The time jumps back and forth were really annoying.
KingLeonidas
KingLeonidas - 6/10/2020, 6:56 PM
@Battabing - It really was. Season 2 is linear. The time jump stuff was the worse thing about Season 1. It made the show unwatchable for a lot of people.

Didn't really like the first season but Cavill was a pretty cool Geralt
