Based on the best-selling fantasy series, 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.
The Witcher series for Netflix will be based on the stories and novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, of which there are eight, which themselves formulated the popular Witcher games franchise which has since spawned a comic book series and a tabletop game. The book series was previously adapted for television in Poland.
Henry Cavill currently stars in the critical and box office hit Mission Impossible – Fallout, which has earned over $649 million worldwide. He is a massive fan of Andrzej Sapkowski’s series of fantasy short stories and novels about the witcher Geralt of Rivia. Henry starred in the dual role of ‘Clark Kent / Superman,’ in Man of Steel, the highest-grossing Superman film to date, and in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League.
Schmidt Hissrich will serve as executive producer and showrunner for The Witcher. She’s known for her work (writing and co-executive producing) on The Defenders, Daredevil, and Power. Sean Daniel is set to executive produce under the Sean Daniel Company with his partner Jason Brown. Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko of Platige Image will executive produce as well.
Netflix is aiming to release the first season sometime in 2020. The series will be eight episodes long and will be shooting in Eastern Europe.www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/976665-henry-cavill-joins-cast-of-netflixs-the-witcher

3 episodes in.
It's okay. I feel like the writing is all over the place and it's not shot/lit very well, but I'm intrigued enough by the world and Cavill is very good in the role. It's clunky how they jump from one storyline to the next, but I'm invested.

Watched about 4 episodes and gave up. I've never read the books or played the game so maybe it's just not for me. I didn't hate it though so maybe I'll give it another try one day

It should be noted that how Netflix counts viewers has changed recently.
They used to considered something viewed after 70% of it had been watched. Now they base it on just viewing the first 2 minutes...
