Today we were blessed with several photos of Anya Chalotra as Yennefer in Netflix’s The Witcher. Now thanks to FarFarAway we have even more of them including a first look as Lars Mikkelsen as the mage Stregobor, a closer look at Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe and more shots of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia.
But that’s not all! The properties of the photos also provide the episode numbers and the dates the scenes were shot! Credit for the photos goes to photographer Katalin Vermes.

And there you have it. The dates and episodes of most of the stills we have seen so far.
1) Mousesack will probably look different when he is not at the court at official meeting (even Geralt is dressed like he is not used to).
2) Eist if I’m right is a husband of Calanthe and king of Cintra for a few years – why can’t he wear cintrian armour?
If this series bombs it will be mainly because of the costume designer.
Calanthe’s crown – who is she? Snow White’s stepmother? Miss Liberty?
Eist is a fiery Skellige islander. Look at the slicker in the picture! Mousesack is a bloody druid. With this barber shop-trimmed beard?
And who took the wings from Cahir’s helmet?
1) Mousesack will probably look different when he is not at the court at official meeting (even Geralt is dressed like he is not used to).
2) Eist if I’m right is a husband of Calanthe and king of Cintra for a few years – why can’t he wear cintrian armour?
Ballsack armor looks much better when painted to imitate metal rather than leather. Hope they’ll do better job in season 2.
