The Witcher (2019)
Video Game Adaptations to Look Out For
Netflix’s upcoming The Witcher series will be adapted from not just the game series, but also the Polish fantasy novels by Andrzej Sapkowski that they were based on.
Although gamers’ general love of The Witcher, is likely responsible for Netflix’s decision to secure the rights, no doubt helped by the popularity of The Witcher 3, the upcoming series will stick more closely to the book and won’t include characters from the games that weren’t also in the novels.
Henry Cavill will star as monster hunter Geralt, which we first got a peek at back in October. The reception to it was… mixed, probably due to Cavill looking a lot younger than Geralt’s supposed to be. But for those unsure about the integrity of the series, Sapkowski himself is on board as a creative consultant to keep the show true to its source.
The Netflix series is pegged for a late 2019/early 2020 release.
