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.
