Alex has returned home for her father Aurthur’s funeral. The only problem is she’s two days late, which her sister Liz (Madison Calhoun; 12 Mighty Orphans) takes great delight in pointing out. It seems there’s been bad blood between them at least since she left Texas for a job with a magazine in New York and didn’t tell anyone until after she got there.

When she goes to his house she finds his cassette player and some tapes dated 1978 containing his interview with a man named Mario who claimed to have seen ghost lights that were responsible for people disappearing. With her editor pressuring her for a story she decides to follow up on this both to keep him happy and to find closure over her father’s death.

Most of us have gotten quite used to working from home and it’s nice to finally find some free time for all those hobbies we were too busy for before. But it looks like Henry Cavill’s extended vacation is over. According to Deadline, major production studios in the UK are preparing to go back to work and this could mean that Netflix’s second season of The Witcher, which was scheduled to be produced in the United Kingdom, is preparing to resume its shoot.

The Guardian also reported that the British Film Commission and British Film Institute have put together some best practice guidelines for studios that are planning to start back up, and these measures have been approved by government authorities. Furthermore, Bob Terry, the managing director of Arborfield Studios where sets of The Witcher are housed, has said that they’re working toward a reopening.

Exclusive: Some of the biggest studios in the UK, including two at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, are beginning to open their doors again as UK film and television shoots take their first steps back into production.

Elstree Studios and Twickenham Studios have announced that production work has resumed on their sites, while Deadline understands that other spaces, including Arborfield/Longrcoss Studios and Maidstone Studios, should be ready for business again in the coming weeks.

Arborfield was among the first to be impacted by the production hiatus when Netflix shut down the fantasy drama The Witcher on the same day that actor Kristofer Hivju tested positive for coronavirus on March 16. Managing director Bob Terry said work is underway to reopen the site and sister studio Longcross, where the likes of Captain Phillips and Skyfall have been filmed. He is holding meetings over the next two weeks to finalize safety procedures.
