A TV series based upon The Witcher video game series is in production for Netflix!

The show will be based upon author Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher Saga books, who will also contribute to the show as a creative consultant.

Sapkowski’s eight novels and story collections are about "witchers,"hunters who “develop supernatural abilities at a young age to battle deadly monsters”. It has been translated into over 20 languages, as well as the hugely successful video game franchise - in including 2015's Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, arguably one of the best RPGs of all time, evs.

"I'm thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories," Sapkowski said in a press release, "staying true to the source material and themes that I have spent over 30 years writing. I'm excited about our efforts together as well as the team assembled to shepherd these characters to life.”

Although not involved in the project, game creator CD Projekt Red wished the project “all the best”... but the director of the show will beTomek Baginski - who directed all three Witcher games’ intro cinematics.

Voice actor Doug Cockle, who portrays leading man Geralt in the games, is also not participating in the project.

As yet, there’s no news about what actors may be connected to the series but we can’t WAIT to find out more!
