Netflix has finally showcased the trailer for The Witcher and it looks set to be a huge hit for the streaming giant.
Starring Henry Cavill in the lead role, The Witcher is based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels and tells the story of Geralt of Rivia as he and those around him prepare to take on a series of evil forces on The Continent. It’s clear from the trailer that Netflix is making a pretty grown-up series, not a teen magical drama.
The trailer also indicates that showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich’s adaptation of the show will be different from that of the video games.
No release date has been announced for the show, but you can add it to your list on Netflix by heading to Netflix.com/TheWitcher
