‘The Witcher’ Bloopers Finally Lets Us See Geralt Smile
It turns out one of the most precious treasures on the Continent is Geralt of Rivia’s smile. So it’s a little unnerving to seeHenry Cavillflashing those pearly whites so often in the blooper reel forThe Witcher, which Netflix released this week. But, having been deprived of Geralt’s smile for so long (do we actually ever see him smile, or do anything more than smirk?) it’s like rain after a drought. WatchThe Witcherbloopers below.

Netflix is getting good at keeping its fans sated while its beloved shows go on hiatus — and fans ofThe Witcherare certainly thirsty for new updates from the action fantasy show and of its hunky lead, played by Cavill. Filming forThe Witcherseason 2 is currently ongoing, barring theoccasional COVID-19 delay, but it will still be more than a year since the series debuted its first season on the streaming service back in December 2019. But, as if to say, “here, have some content!” Netflix has released a season 1 blooper reel, showing Cavill and the cast goofing off between takes, and a horse ruining a shot by pooping. There’s also a shot of Cavill all oiled up like a “sexy greased pig” for all you horndogs out there.
Cavill (Mission Impossible – Fallout, Man of Steel) stars inThe Witcheras Geralt of Rivia, alongsideAnya Chalotraas Yennefer andFreya Allanas Ciri, andJoey Bateyas everyone’s favorite bard Jaskier.
In addition to returning cast members, the show is bringing a host of new faces to face off against Geralt of Rivia inThe Witcherseason 2.
