Jaskier quickly became a fan-favorite character in Netflix's The Witcher series. The whimsical bard built an unexpected friendship with Geralt, not to mention his very catchy song about the adventures of the Witcher. The viewers certainly loved the pair's dynamic and it looks like Joey Batey does too, which is pretty evident as he talks about his favorite scenes with Henry Cavill.

In a recent interview with Comic Book, Batey revealed that his favorite scenes were "the slightly more down moments." "The moments where we connect and kind of step away from all the nonsense and the improvisation, which there was a lot of," he said. "Because I apparently just don't say the script."

He mentioned that there was a "lovely arc" in episode six where there are "a couple of moments" that the "frivolity" and "comic nature" of the duo's relationship gets pushed aside and they finally get talk to each other as friends. Batey thinks this is where the viewers were able to see "what all the years of traveling" together does to two men "who love each other very much."

"And I think that for me was the most important thing to play, was grounding it in that loyalty and that friendship, and then the humor and all the goofing about, that's just like a bonus," he added. "That's the fun stuff."

In the second season of The Witcher, showrunner Lauren Hissrich revealed that Jaskier will start to think about "what he needs and wants in the world." As opposed to seeing his humorous attitude in the first season, the second one will show more of his serious side.
