Besides these important castings (including Game of Thrones veteran Kristofer Hivju, now officially confirmed), Netflix has now begun filming the second season.

Though filming was originally set to begin on February 17, Netflix secretly entered production a few days ahead of schedule.

The scene in question involves an army of elves (this time, not on a shelf) and one of season two’s most important new characters.

With filming having commenced in the UK, Netflix and Redanian Intelligence revealed most of the important new cast members joining Henry Cavill (Geralt), Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) and Freya Allan (Ciri) in season two.

Geralt (Henry Cavill) and Ciri (Freya Allan) will be sharing scenes with Hivju in Nivellen’s mansion in the first episode of season two, while on the road to Kaer Morhen.

We have also learned that Henry Cavill was filming on location alongside Geralt’s trusted mare Roach and his Child Surprise, Princess Ciri (Freya Allan).

It’s possible that the scenes filmed with Cavill and Allan (and Roach) were not the same as those with the dead bodies. »
