The Witcher is a fantasy drama television series created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich for Netflix, based on the book series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. Set on the Continent, a land inspired by medieval Europe, the series follows Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), a solitary monster hunter, as he navigates a world where humans often prove more wicked than beasts. The narrative intertwines Geralt’s destiny with that of the powerful sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) and Princess Ciri (Freya Allan), whose mysterious powers are sought by dark forces.
