Netflix’s The Witcher has resumed production after a halt earlier this week, Redanian Intelligence, the Witcher news site has reported. Season 3 production came to an abrupt halt in the middle of filming the Thanedd ball, the series’ most ambitious sequence, as star Henry Cavill tested positive for COVID. The streamer told The Hollywood Reporter that the filming “paused due to Covid, and we will be up and running as soon as it is safe to do so.”

Seems like that time is now as several cast members confirmed their return to sets via Instagram stories. Actor Mecia Simson, Cassie Clare, and Harvey Quinn all shared several pictures ranging from jokes about the heat or poking fun at the Netflix label on a restroom, however, it certainly confirms the show is back on its feet. Simon plays Francesca, Quinn is set to portray an undisclosed Mage and Clare is playing Phillipa – all characters important to the Thanedd ball and subsequent coup plot line. However, there’s no word about whether Geralt of Rivia himself is back in action or not. Nonetheless, there are plenty of sequences during the ball that can be done in his absence.

Season 2 left us on a hopeful note as Ciri, Geralt, and Yennefer finally come together. However, the game-changing scene comes at the end when it was revealed that the White Flame was none other than Ciri's dad, Duny, aka Emhyr Var Emreis, the emperor of Nilfgaard.
