The Witcher Saga is being made into a Netflix series. Netflix will work with Polish production and visual effects studio Platige Image to bring Geralt of Rivia to your screen, and original author Andrzej Sapkowski will serve as a creative consultant.
The news comes via an announcement on Platige’s website, which describes the series as a drama, and confirms it will be in English.
“Andrzej Sapkowski has created a rich and memorable world, at once magical and familiar,” says Erik Barmack, Netflix’s VP for international series. “We couldn’t be more excited about bringing [it to] Netflix members around the world.”
Sapkowski seems much more excited for this project than he initially did for the Witcher games, saying: “I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories, staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years writing.”
The series has some serious heft behind it, with The Expanse's Sean Daniel and Jason Brown on executive production duties, and Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner Tomek Baginski also on board.
