    The Witcher (2019) - Airing on NETFLIX December 20

    [​IMG]

    “The Witcher is an upcoming fantasy drama web series. It follows the story of Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, who 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.”

    Main Trailer





    I’m mostly excited for Yennefer’s Story! :aww:

    No. I hated the game and the supreme doom darkness and despair culture that has held video games captive for the last few years.

    Yes, and the books are written by a Polish author, not American.

    And the origin of the stories are folklores (by a polish writer, though I think others also got included?)

    Edit: Wikipedia said that it was only the book-series by one polish writer (still with origin in polish folklore) and here is the official website to the game

    The series is based on the books. Not the videogames.

    @DocB He doesn’t usually carry around 2 swords in the books (the other sword is on Roach or something).

    @Vilidious yes, I’m aware the author is Polish. I’m just saying the upcoming 2019 TV series is being made by Netflix, which is an American company, as opposed to the other TV series/movie adaptations which were produced by Poland.

    Don't tv-series still get called that even if they don't get aired on tv and only online instead? I thought you meant to say that it is an American book-series...

    Ugh god fine, I’ll just edit that out of the OP so people will stop arguing about it instead of talking about the actual TV show. :blobunamused: *sigh*

    I had copy-pasted the description from Wikipedia to begin with. And they stated that the (2019) Adaptation is an American-produced series.

    It could either be so awesome that it would become the next GoT, or suck so much that blood would come out of our ears and eyes.

    If I was excited, it's only due to Henry Cavil. Everything else, from the producers to the directors, stinks.

    Could be great. The games were absolutely fantastic. The world and characters from the books clearly have more than enough potential to make a fabulous TV show. We'll see how it goes.

    It's obvious though who has (put in) more money though, so the Netflix Adaptation will probably look quite a bit better
