The Witcher III: Wild Hunt recently made its way onto the Nintendo Switch but that's not all for the popular fantasy franchise this year as; Netflix's live-action adaptation of
The Witcher will be debuting on the streaming service at some point within the remaining months of 2019 — we don't yet know its exact release date.
The series will star Henry Cavill (
Justice League) as Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra (
Wanderlust) as Yennefer, and Freya Allan (
Into the Badlands) as Ciri — among others. Thus far, we've gotten one trailer for the Netflix series and a couple of cool images. Speaking, of some new shots recently surfaced online and you can check those out below.
Lauren Hissrich, the showrunner of
The Witcher, recently participated in an interview with
Corriere in which they spoke about how violent and adult the upcoming show will be. Apparently, the upcoming series will be quite brutal and mature. The showrunner specifically clarifies that Netflix's
The Witcher is not suitable for children.
"Very brutal...we are not shy about the adult themes present in the original material. The novels contemplate sexism, racism, and war with a lot of politics. Let's say five-year-olds shouldn't watch it," Hissrich told the Italian site.
