‘The Witcher’ Season 1 Episode Titles And Summaries Unveiled By Netflix
“The Witcher" Netflix premiere is less than a month away. And as fans await the Season 1 release, Netflix continues to add magical Igni to the amassing flames.
On Friday, Netflix unveiled a full rundown of all eight “The Witcher” episodes, via ComicBook.com. On top of each Twitter post, the streaming site also showcased a neat summary and snippet to tease what the episode could look like.
The following posts aren’t too revealing, but this is a fair warning to those who don't want spoilers -- each episode title could be a little identifying, especially for book readers. Below is the episode list, along with each “The Witcher” Netflix social media breakdown.
Episode 1: “The End’s Beginning”
Episode 2: “Four Marks”
Episode 3: “Betrayer Moon”
Episode 4: “Of Banquets, Bastards, and Burials”
Episode 5: “Bottled Appetites”
Episode 6: “Rare Species”
Episode 7: “Before A Fall”
Episode 8: “Much More”
The episode titles and summaries come just over a week after Netflix shared new behind-the-scenes shots from the series.
Starring Henry Cavill as the titular monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia, Netflix’s “The Witcher” boasts a mixture of dark fantasy, romance, beastly violence, political intrigue, and so much more. Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich intends on altering this only slightly for TV in order to keep the story as close to Andrzej Sapkowski’s classics as possible.
Cavill has long stressed the importance of portraying such a heralded character, both in literature and gaming. Co-starring alongside the likes of Anya Chalotra, who plays Yennefer, and Freya Allan, portraying Princess Cirilla, Cavill’s Geralt will be displayed more in the likes of a “broken family” as Hissrich describes, yet Cavill still considers his version "true to the books."
Judging by the aforementioned episode names, Netflix will be relying heavily on “The Witcher” books, specifically key moments presented throughout “The Last Wish.”
Netflix has already greenlit a second season for “The Witcher,” only adding to the fan anticipation for Season 1.
“The Witcher” Netflix premiere brings monsters and ghouls to life on Dec. 20.
