While tv and movie characters are often portrayed as being larger than life, the actors that play them are, for the most part, just as prone to sickness and injury as the rest of us mere mortals. Such is the case for The Witcher Netflix series star Henry Cavill, who recently incurred an injury on-set while shooting Season 2 of the popular show. Thankfully not even a hamstring injury can keep a good Witcher down, with Cavill recently releasing a status update on his recovery.

The Witcher’s Henry Cavill recently took to Instagram to provide his fans with an update on what he is calling “a major step” in his recovery process. Said major step was none other than a jog through the great outdoors somewhere in the UK, of which he is only allotted one per day due to the country’s ongoing lockdown. “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 (More on that another time),” Cavill said in the caption accompanying the below picture. “It wasn’t fast, and it certainly was 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.”

As for season 2 of Netflix’s The Witcher series, filming will likely begin in earnest once Cavill is back to 100%, lockdowns and pandemics permitting. Netflix recently released the script for the intro scene of season 2, which can be seen right here.

Season 2 of Netflix’s The Witcher series is expected to release at some point later this year.
