The Witcher is being adapted into a TV series for Netflix, with Platige Image, a production company that worked on the video game series developed by CD Projekt RED, involved in its creation.
The series looks to be based on the eight-part novel series written by Andrzej Sapkowski, instead of the games. Sapkowski will be working on the English language drama series as a creative consultant.
“Andrzej Sapkowski has created a rich and memorable world, at once magical and familiar,” said Erik Barmack, Netflix’s vice president of international series. “We couldn’t be more excited about bringing The Witcher saga to Netflix members around the world.”
