The Witcher
December 20, 2019 on Netflix
Geralt of Rivia -- a solitary monster-hunter for hire -- navigates a morally ambiguous continent as his path begins to intersect with Yennefer of Vengerberg, a powerful sorceress, and Ciri, a young princess whose bloodline carries a destiny neither of them fully understands. The first season adapts Andrzej Sapkowski's short story collections and unfolds across multiple timelines that gradually converge.
