As you may remember, it was shortly after production on The Witcher shut down earlier this year that Hivju came out and revealed that he had, in fact, been diagnosed with COVID-19.
Surjik made sure to say special thanks to several members of the cast and crew, including actor Kristofer Hivju, who’ll be taking on the new role of the beastly Nivellen for the series.
The small stroke of luck was that most of the cast and crew had already been sent home, so all the show had to do was close production offices, so that the entirety of the filming area at Arborfield Studios, where the series shoots, could be properly disinfected.
