Perhaps, then, The Witcher will become the breakthrough hit that delivers a solid adaptation of both the books and the video game series that shares its name.
Netflix’s plans for The Witcher series are moving full steam ahead, now that a showrunner has been found in Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, who promises fans she has no intention of watering down the content for TV.
The Witcher does not currently have a premiere date.
But given the popularity of the video game series, it stands to reason the show would attract an even bigger potential audience by appealing to the gamers as well.
