Netflix's fantasy hit The Witcher was one of several shows and movies that resumed shooting in the UK last summer, but production faced a setback last month when star Henry Cavill suffered an on-set leg injury. Now Cavill has updated fans on his recovery.

　　The actor revealed that his injury, which he sustained while in an elevated safety harness, was healing well. In a post on Instagram he stated, "We are in lockdown here in the UK so I'm using my once a day outdoor exercise to go for my first jog since my hamstring injury. It wasn't fast, and it certainly [wasn't] far, but it has been a major step in my recovery, and my first step to getting back into the groove after a Christmas that may have involved more than a few cups of mulled wine, and an exceptionally fat Turkey." Check Cavill's post out below:

　　Although Cavill isn't currently working on The Witcher Season 2, production on the show has continued without him. The series has also had two pauses due to positive COVID-19 tests in the past few months. Season 2 doesn't have a premiere date yet, but it is likely to be released later in 2021.

　　A Witcher spin-off was also announced last summer. The new show will be titled The Witcher: Blood Origin, and will be a six-part limited series set 1,200 years before the main show. According to Netflix it will explore the origin of the very first monster-hunting Witcher and will chart the events that led to the "conjunction of the spheres," where the world of monsters, men, and elves merged.
