Netflix tossed more than a coin at this project
Netflix’sThe Witcherproved far more successful than most people had previously given it credit for. The live-action adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy novels was a streaming smash, making Geralt of Rivia a household name among international audiences.
It took a lot of time, talent, and painstaking effort to recreate the strange and mythical world ofThe Witcherand its wide cast of characters. A new Netflix documentary intends to give the show’s fans a peek behind the curtain at both the conception and creation of the globally successful series.
Making The Witcheris a documentary detailing the production of the show’s first season, filled with never-before-seen on-set footage and interviews with members of the cast and crew. Featured in the new documentary are producer Lauren S. Hissrich, as well as stars Anya Chalotra (Yennefer), Joey Batey (Jaskier), Freya Allan (Ciri) and – Geralt of Rivia himself – Henry Cavill.
Making The Witcheris streaming now on Netflix. A second season ofThe Witcherhas been confirmed, though its production has been delayed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
