Netflix’s decision to jump into the franchise comes at a time where Amazon is attempting a live-action series for Lord of the Rings, so it’s possible these two will be semi-competitive in attempting to draw the fantasy crowd to their respective networks.
Hissrich will be the second person to helm a series based on The Witcher, as the first attempt came in the form of a Polish television series titled Hexer.
While people mention the television series, the video games have been one of the biggest things to come from the franchise, and out of Poland in general.
