THE WITCHER To Premiere on Netflix this Fall

The Netflix series based on "The Witcher" will launch between October to December, according to Variety.

"Well, definitely in the third quarter, we've got new episodes and new seasons of some of our most loved and most watched shows on Netflix, 'Stranger Things,' 'Casa de Papel,' 'Orange Is the New Black,' '13 Reasons Why,' 'Elite,' which was a big hit for us right out of Spain, a new season from Ryan Murphy of 'The Politician,' a brand new show on Netflix that we think our audiences are going to love," he said. "And then you start seeing later in the fourth quarter some of our bigger film investments coming through like 'Irishman,' like '6 Underground' and also a big new original series that we're currently shooting in Hungary called 'The Witcher,' that is an enormous European IP, very popular game and Book IP, that we think is going to make a really fun global series."

Henry Cavill will take on the role of Geralt of Rivia (the titular Witcher in both the video games and books).

"The Witcher," from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, details the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter who battles creatures from Slavic lore.
