Toss a coin to your Witcher, Oh Valley of Plenty...
Fans of 'The Witcher' will only be delighted that shooting for the second season will resume shortly.
The hit Netflix series was one of many TV and movie productions that had to put filming on hold in recent months.
The news that the Henry Cavill-led series is restarting production again was confirmed by their official Twitter account.
In a style that's very typical of the series, @witchernetflix shared a rhyme reading:
"I’m dusting off my lute and quill,
I have some news, some mead to spill:
After all the months we’ve been apart
It’s time for production to restart.
The Witcher and his bard – who’s flawless,
Will reunite on set 17 August."

The series was shooting in the UK last March when shooting was forced to shut down.
The first season was a big success for Netflix, watched by 76 million households.
Kristofer Hivju, best known for playing Tormund Giantsbane in 'Game of Thrones', joins season 2.
An animated movie based on the series, 'The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf', which is about Geralt's mentor, Vesemir, is also in the works from Netflix. The streaming service may be releasing it in between the two seasons to give fans 'Witcher' content while they're waiting for new episodes.
Other productions that are restarting filming include the 'Avatar' sequels, 'Mission: Impossible 7' and 'Jurassic World: Dominion'.
