Netflix Reveals First Official Pics from Upcoming ‘The Witcher’ Series

By July 4, 2019Adaptations, News

In May 2017, Netflix announced that it had secured the rights to begin creating a new show based upon The Witcher books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The books follow the adventures of Geralt, a monster hunter with enhanced abilities who travels a fantasy land taking on contracts. The books were adapted into a critically acclaimed video game series in recent years, and now a TV show is on its way. If you can’t wait to watch the new series, then check out these first official images published by Netflix.

The books author is serving as a creative consultant on the show and last year it was announced that recent Superman actor Henry Cavill would play the role of Geralt of Rivia, the grizzled monster slayer. Cavill is known for being a fan of both the books and the video games and had expressed an interest in playing Geralt in interviews when it was first announced Netflix was creating the show.

Filming began in late 2018 in Hungary, before moving to film in Gran Canaria. It was recently announced by Netflix that the show is set to be released on its streaming service later this year.
