However, now it seems like everything will soon go back to normal.

Henry Cavill is back in action for The Witcher season 3 production

After Cavill failed to appear at the San Diego Comic-con, the news came that actor is tested positive. The fantasy series had taken a brief halt ensuring everyone’s safety. For two weeks or so, the crew was filming the scenes where they didn’t need Henry Cavill. It was majorly the shooting of Thanedd Coup where fans will come across several mazes. There were so many scenes that had nothing to do with Geralt’s presence. Hence, the team smartly opted to get done with them while Cavill recovers. Finally, it’s time to have a merry witchmas as Geralt of Rivia is reportedly back home after taking down the gruesomest mini-monster.
