Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher is coming sooner than we initially thought. Originally scheduled for a launch someday in 2020, the streaming service’s eight-episode tackle Andrei Sapkowski’s books and CD Projekt Red’s game trilogy is now slated for a 2019 launch as a substitute.
The information comes from showrunner Lauren Hissrich, who tweeted a picture final night time exhibiting what appears to be a placeholder for the brand new present. Beneath the present’s working title – The Witcher, shock shock – the placeholder merely says “2019.” Everything we’d seen thus far has instructed that the present could be popping out in 2020, however now it appears Netflix has moved it ahead.
The placeholder additionally additional confirms that Man of Steel and Mission Impossible star Henry Cavill will play Geralt of Rivia, and affords a quick plot synopsis: “The witcher Geralt, a mutated monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.” That doesn’t inform us a lot although, because it’s just about a abstract of each Witcher game and e book thus far.
Exactly when the present will air isn’t but recognized, in fact, however I anticipate it’ll be the latter half of subsequent 12 months – casting shouldn’t be full (regardless of some Yennefer casting scripts leaking just lately). For that matter, neither is writing – the sequence finale remains to be being written, and with just one main character in place, capturing can be but to start. So we’re not prone to see it any time quickly.
Some shiny new updates right here…
