By Production for the third season of Netflix’s The Witcher is fast approaching to its eventual conclusion, but while it’s still on, we still get interesting new info now and then about the Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan fantasy series.
Today we have a return of an iconic book location that was subject of some heated discussions back when Season 1 came out.
Back to the Brokilon Forest
For the past three weeks, The Witcher has been filming scenes that take place in the Brokilon forest, the home of dryads. The helmer for those scenes is Bola Ogun, who directs episodes 7 and 8 of The Witcher Season 3.
Henry Cavill and Meng’er Zhang (Milva) are among the cast who are involved in the scenes, which make perfect sense. After a crushing defeat at the hands of Vilgefortz, Geralt is taken to Brokilon so the dryads heal him. There he meets Milva, who eventually becomes a very valuable ally of his.
For the first season, Brokilon was filmed in the woods located on the Canary Islands. Now, however, they are filming it in the local woods in Surrey, England.
Season 3 of The Witcher is in production until September 2022 for a 2023 release. The live-action prequel The Witcher: Blood Origin is in post-production after two weeks of reshoots and is currently eyed for a Christmas 2022 release.
