Based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s series of novels and short stories about the monster-hunting witcher Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), the sorceress Yennefer (Anya Chalotra), and the princess-on-the-run Ciri (Freya Allan), The Witcher has enough source material to last for many years.
Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich weighed in on how long The Witcher could last on Netflix.
The Witcher has all the makings of an epic saga of a TV show when it releases on Netflix, although it won’t be Game of Thrones 2.0 or a rehashing of Lord of the Rings.
