The Wayfinders Season 2 Begins Pre‑Production in Ireland — Crew & Cast Gearing Up

The fantasy‑adventure series The Wayfinders is officially moving into pre‑production for Season 2, with Ireland once again serving as the base of operations. Filming is expected to launch in early 2026, likely returning to Limerick and surrounding counties where Season 1 shot at Troy Studios and historic sites such as Cahir Castle and the Rock of Cashel.

Season 1 introduced three high‑schoolers who are mysteriously transported into a brutal medieval world and thrust into a civil war—a narrative that blended myth, magic and coming‑of‑age stakes. While Season 2’s plot details are still under wraps, the strong production footprint in Ireland indicates that crews, department heads and casting teams should begin preparing now.

For production professionals, this is an ideal time to align with the project. Throughout Ireland’s Midlands and West, local crews have already been activated, and facilities‑‑from soundstages to scenic backdrops of castles and woodlands—offer strong support for a fantasy shoot. Departments likely to ramp up soon include art and set design (for new magical realms and war‑torn landscapes), camera/grip/lighting (especially for action‑driven sequences in challenging terrain), costume/hair & makeup (for mythic characters and period aesthetics), and visual effects coordination (to integrate both practical and fantastical environments).

Casting notices are also expected in the near future. While Season 1 cast members such as Tamara Smart, Evan Nikolas Fields and Issy Knopfler established the core team, Season 2 will likely introduce additional characters and background talent to populate its expanding world. Extras, stand‑ins, casting assistants and background coordinators should remain ready as location work and scripting advance.
