New photos from the set of the second season of The Witcher, from Netflix, were released and it appears as if the recordings of the episode are adapting the short story “A Shard of Ice”, from the book Sword of Destiny.
The photos were taken at Frensham Little Pond in Surrey, Reuni Kingdom, where production is currently taking place (via Redanian Intelligence). The images on the set show several people, elves and more, as well as Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Istredd actor Royce Pierreson, already wearing the characters’ clothes, together.
The first season adapted several tales from The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, but this one had nonetheless been put aside. The story of A Shard of Ice is from the novel, focusing on the love triangle between Yennefer, Geralt and Istredd, after the latter asked for the witch’s hand in marriage.
The tale is completely concentrated on Yennefer and her doubts about her two love interests, with the witch making a difficult decision in the end.
