In case you missed it, production on Netflix's The Witcher Season 2 recently halted due to several positive COVID-19 tests. More specifically, four members of production reportedly tested positive, and as is typical for such things now, filming won't start back up until it is confirmed to be safe to do so again. While the news made rounds yesterday afternoon, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich this morning responded to concern from fans with a new statement.

"Hey, the world is turned upside down — so thanks for the love and support for our little corner of it," Hissrich shared over on Twitter. "We Witchers are okay. The health and safety of our crew and their families come first, and we will do whatever we need to do to protect them. We'll be back soon." You can check out the official social media post below:
