The Witcher cast reunited on set starting on August 17, 2020, and then filming was halted in November 2020 due to four crew members testing positive. Netflix suspended production on all of its shows during the first several months of the pandemic. Production on The Witcher season 2 had a couple delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The season 2 release date was originally announced during WitcherCon in July (a digital event collaboration between Netflix and CD Projekt) and puts the second season two years after the first one, which released in December 2019.
