[h=1]Netflix's The Witcher TV Show Will Premiere In Late 2019[/h]
In an exciting announcement from Netflix, The Witcher is set to premiere on the streaming service later this year. The show is based on the Polish novels of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski and stars Henry Cavill in the lead role as Geralt of Rivia. According to Sapkowski, who has been working on the series as a creative consultant, the series will be staying true to the source material and themes in his novels instead of diving into the narratives from The Witcher video game series.
The announcement of the Netflix series hit back in 2017, with casting news making the rounds in Fall 2018. A couple of casting choices managed to rile up fans of the fantasy series, including an ad that surfaced on the internet inregard to the casting of Ciri, but Cavill's casting was one that was met with a slew of mixed reactions. In a short clip of The Witcher test footage released on Twitter, Cavill stepped out in a wig of long, white hair with a clean-shaven face, and orange cat-like eyes. It appeared to many that the series would be keeping Cavill's likeness similar to Geralt's appearance in the novels, not the video games. There wasn't much to take away from the footage, and even though it wasn't what many were expecting, it was a sign that at least the ball was rolling on the TV series.
Now, Witcher fans can rejoice in the news that the series will be coming later this year instead of in 2020, when many were expecting a release date to be. According to Deadline, Netflix sent a letter to investors after receiving its first-quarter financial results and stated that they are, "looking forward to a strong slate of global content in the second half of the year." The Witcher was included in the announcement alongside the third season of The Crown,Stranger Things, and multiple other shows and movies. Although there was no specific date announced, Netflix revealed that The Witcher will be coming, "in the last three months of the year."
Currently, the series is still in production filming in Hungary, but is set to launch in Netflix's fourth quarter. Showrunner Lauren Hissrich, who also wrote and executive produced Daredevil and The Defenders, has stated that the series will have an eight episode run in its first season. The plot will follow Geralt, a monster hunter, as he battles literal and figurative demons alongside his allies, Yennefer and Ciri, played by Anya Chalotra and Freya Allen respectively.
The Witcher has the opportunity to become Netflix's Game of Thrones, if done correctly. Adapting from the epic fantasy novels with the help of the series' original author is an excellent way to assure Witcher fans that the story will be entertaining and investing. Not only that, but shooting has taken place in multiple locations across eastern Europe, making for an immersive experience that will fit the setting and tone of the show. The Witcher has potential to become a major hit for Netflix, maybe even a perfect filler for Game of Thronesfans after that series meets its end in May.

Henry Cavill as witcher looks perfect. Also many people who've played the game were quick to notice he has only one sword. But this series in based on "The last wish" and "Sword of destiny".
In "The last wish" Geralt actually kept the silver sword wrapped in skins. This is from The last wish, when Geralt prepares to fight striga Adda in the ruined palace of Wyzim (Vizima) (also seen in the CGI intro trailer of Witcher 1 game) :
Also that image of young Ciri is from minor spoiler.
The logo has a wolf and swallow, which is obvious for Geralt and Ciri:

Disappointing to be honest, considering all things. I really hope this is a marketing tactic or something, because if they pulled fantasy elements in favor of horror it is going to displease a great number of fans and quite frankly ruin portions of the story. Hopefully I will be wrong though.
[h=1]Netflix has already renewed The Witcher for season 2[/h]
Geralt is just getting settled in

Netlix has already ordered a second season of The Witcher. The first season of the show, starring Henvil Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, hasn’t even aired yet.
Announced in 2017, The Witcher is based on the original novels by Andrzej Sapkowski and will include nods to the critically-acclaimed role-playing games by CD Projekt Red. The cast includes Freya Allan (The War of the Worlds, Bluebird) as Ciri, and Anya Chalotra (Wanderlust, The ABC Murders) as Yennefer. The series premieres on Dec. 18.
Promotion of the show has not been without its controversies. Early on, fans of the game franchise in particular took issue with casting Cavill, best known for his time as Superman. The recent trailer, however, seems to have calmed down concerns quite a bit. It looks every bit as gritty as it needs to, and the lighting and color grading has reduced the reflectivity in Cavill’s brilliant silver wig, so that’s a plus.
