The Witcher is a best-selling fantasy book series by Andrzej Sapkowski. However, the property is perhaps best-known for being an acclaimed and popular video game series developed by CD Projekt Red. On December 20th, Netflix will release a live-action television series based on
The Witcher.
Henry Cavill (
Mission: Impossible — Fallout) stars as the titular character, Anya Chalotra (
Wanderlust) plays Yennefer, and Freya Allan (
Into the Badlands) plays Ciri — while Lauren S. Hissrich serves as showrunner.
In a recent interview with
IGN Poland (via
Gamefragger), an executive producer of the upcoming Netflix series was asked abotu the possibility of an animated
The Witcher series. Tomek Bagiński delievered a coy answer which seemingly teased that something of the sort might already be in the works.
"I don't want to reveal too much here but who knows if we won't see the Witcher in such a style," said Bagiński.
"However, these are things that I would prefer not to talk too much about."
The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family. Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.
