NETFLIX TO PRODUCE THE WITCHER TV SERIES
Share. Writer Andrzej Sapkowski will serve as creative consultant.
BY JOE SKREBELS Netflix will develop and produce a new show based on The
Witcher Saga, the series of eight novels by Andrzej Sapkowski that inspired
the hugely popular CD Projekt Red RPG games.
Sapkowski - who does not profit from the game series - will serve as a
creative consultant on the series. “I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing
an adaptation of my stories," he explained in a press release, "staying true
to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years
writing."
Tomas Baginski - who directed the intro videos for all three Witcher games,
as well as the Cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer - will direct at least one
episode per season.
It's not clear as yet what specific stories the series will follow. Executive
producers Sean Daniel and Jason Brown (The Expanse), said: “The Witcher
stories follow an unconventional family that comes together to fight for
truth in a dangerous world. The characters are original, funny and constantly
surprising and we can’t wait to bring them to life at Netflix, the perfect
home for innovative storytelling.”
Platige Image, a Polish production and visual effects house will co-produce.
Executive producers Baginski and Jarek Sawko emphasised that the books'
subtexts will not be lost in the adaptation: "There is a moral and
intellectual depth in these books which goes beyond genre. It is a story
about today and today’s challenges, hidden under a fantasy cover. It is a
story about us, about the monster and the hero inside all of our hearts.”
No release date, casting, or further directorial choices have been revealed
at time of writing.
