Everyone’s outdated Witcher pal Geralt of Rivia is approaching his Netflix debut, and a trailer premiered at San Diego Comic-Con is right here to show it. Tune in for a story of genocide, some glimpses at acquainted characters and monsters, and an impossibly square-jawed Henry Cavill as Geralt. (You know, him off the telly. You may’ve seen him in The Tudors, or bigging it up on the silver display screen as Superman in these DC films.)
The present’s popping out later this 12 months, and it’ll concentrate on Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri. Showrunner Lauren Hissrich not too long ago gave some additional details to Entertainment Weekly, saying it’s the beastly critters and supernatural manifestations that basically set The Witcher aside.
“Geralt’s a monster hunter so from the very beginning we talked about how to show these monsters and the humans they interact with,” she explains. “I think people are going to be surprised by how many monsters we were able to do and how integral they are to story. It really feels like the monster stories become analogues for bigger things happening in the world right now in different political phenomenons.”
She additionally factors out that this isn’t truly a sequence based mostly on the CD Projekt Red games, however the unique books by writer Andrzej Sapkowski, who’s enjoying a consultancy position in its creation. “The videogames are also an adaptation of the books,” she says. “They went one direction, we actually get to go another.”
