It’s not easy bringing a world filled with magic, monster hunting, sword fighting, and fantasy to the screen, and Netflix is giving fans of The Witcher a chance to see just how much goes into creating Geralt of Rivia’s world. The streaming platform released the trailer for a behind-the-scenes featurette called Making The Witcher . It might be awhile until Season 2 arrives, so it’s nice to have some behind-the-scenes footage to while we wait.

The 32 minute featurette focuses on the making of Season 1 and all that went into its writing, fight scenes and character development — interviewing show runner, Lauren S. Hissrich, as well as actors Henry Cavill (Geralt), Freya Allan (Ciri), Anya Chalotra (Yennefer), and more. There’s lots of footage fans haven’t seen before, including a breakdown of what went into one of Season 1’s most intense fight sequences. Take a look!

Production of Season 2 of The Witcher is currently underway. Cavill recently posted a photo from the set on his Instagram account.

No bald cap this year. Just pounds of 2 types of medical tape and some glue.... Removal is a joy. Jacqui and Ailbhe here, though, have the deft touch of angels. Jacqui more so an Angel of Vengeance, but that's all part of her charm. Oh and for those who may be worrying. All of us are Covid cleared and bubbled 👍🏻. We get tested twice a week up here in Kaer Morhen! #Witcher2 #CasuallyOpenRobe #CowboyBeard @RathoreJacqui @AilbheLemass
