Pre-order my new sci-fi novel Herokiller, and read my first series, The Earthborn Trilogy, which is also on audiobook. They believe that the manuscript contains important clues about the past and the future, and want to know how Diana Bishop has been able to get her hands on the elusive volume. In Sapkowski's works, 'witchers' are beast hunters who develop supernatural abilities at a young age to battle. There are also creative, destructive daemons and long-lived vampires who become interested in the witch’s discovery. The series revolves around the eponymous 'witcher,' Geralt of Rivia. But we’ll see what the future holds.įollow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The Witcher ( Polish: Wiedmin, pronounced vdmin) is a series of six fantasy novels and 15 short stories written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. I think Hissrich and company want to end the series the way Sapkowski ends the series, and there’s really no reason to think past 5-6 seasons for a complete sage. But could you get a half dozen more seasons out of the series with that as a base? I would certainly think so.īut I would not bank on The Witcher continuing on past the books. But you could have an entire season devoted to say, just the Bloody Baron questline in The Witcher 3 alone, so it’s hard to know how this would be structured across three massive games and two large DLCs. Even in their heyday, witchers were probably relatively rare. The creation of witchers is an extremely tedious process as many young adepts die in the ‘Trial of Grasses’ and in the ‘final change’. Second, a much larger and more advanced tutorial area is a region called White Orchard. The first and most important reason is they are no longer needed. There are really two tutorial stages in Witcher 3. The storylines are good, of course, there’s a reason the games are so beloved. There are several reasons why witchers are rare.

Again, for the stated reasons, but also that the games would be much more difficult to adapt than the books. But I’m just saying the material is there if suddenly the cast and crew and Netflix want The Witcher to run for 8, 9, 10+ seasons, longer than Netflix has even been around at this point. Let me reiterate that Hissrich has been very clear about wanting to adapt the books, not the games, and has not given any indication she wants to continue on with the game storylines after the books are done. CD Projekt Red made a trilogy of Witcher video games and some large DLCs based on the original books that are almost impossible to quantify as potential seasons of the show.

How many witchers are there
