Over the weekend, Netflix’s The Witcher joined a laundry list of shows that have paused production in an effort to prevent cast and crewmembers from spreading the coronavirus, but now comes word that actor Kristofer Hijvu has tested positive for the virus. Hijvu, who played the fan favorite Tormund Giantsbane on Game of Thrones, had recently joined the second season of The Witcher, which will undoubtedly see its release pushed even further into 2021 as efforts are made to “deep clean” the set before production resumes. Deadline reports:

The streamer sought to reassure staff that it is putting in place measures to eradicate the virus on set at Arborfield Studios, which is west of London. “We paused production prior to becoming aware of this, but as a further precaution we will be closing production offices and Arborfield immediately and arranging for deep cleaning and disinfection,” Netflix said in an email.

The email added: “We are in the process of contacting those who were in close contact with the relevant individual. However, due to the nature of this production, it is recommended that crew and cast self-quarantine for 14 days, monitor their temperature, and seek medical advice if they experience any symptoms.”

...I just have this picture in my mind of him and Idris Elba back to back, ready to hold off the coming onslaught...

All the best, guys. Hope to see you striding out the other side of this.

a Swedish movie. He played a bit part, but he looked like a character from the viking days.

It’s quite good. Hope he will be OK. In the series he plays twin brothers, one of whom is a disreputable surfer dude. I had no idea that there was surfing in Norway. It seems like a rather unlikely place for it.

Enough is enough. I hope they come up with a vaccine that works ASAP.

Who next? Baby Yoda?
