The Witcher Is Coming to Netflix

 

The short teaser posted on Netflix’s Twitter account offers up the first sight of Henry Cavill taking on the role of Geralt in the streaming service’s upcoming show based on the fantasy series “The Witcher.”

 

 

“The Witcher” follows Geralt of Rivia (Cavill), a solitary monster hunter, as he 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.

 

Lauren Schmidt Hissrich serves as executive producer and showrunner on the series. In addition, Alik Sakharov,  Alex Garcia Lopez, and Charlotte Brändström will all direct portions of the eight-episode first season, with Sakharov also serving as executive producer.
