Well, after the two short story books there's 5 novels that pertain to the main saga.

The first season covered the first two short story books. I haven't read the others yet, but I imagine they can get a season out of a book.

7 planned, I assume first two are the two short story collections and the next 5 are the five novels

I wonder how much they'll stick to them though, because (from the summaries I read at one point) the Citi and Wild Hunt stuff was there in the books but didn't really seem finished at all

That'd be quite the feat, considering Netflix likes canning their series after three seasons, regardless of how strong the metrics are. That's what analytics tells them is the most profitable outcome. I need to get on the books.

The Ciri and Wild Hunt stuff more pertains to The Witcher 3. I'm fairly certain that those games are considered canon to the story.

The author hates the games, though that was likely because apparently he thought they would fail so he didn't try to get much money from them and he was bitter about it

The Netflix showrunner said they wouldn't adapt the games though, so I'm a little concerned about how they're gonna do that storyline. They mentioned the Wild Hunt in the pilot even but if it doesn't get resolved in the show, why bother.

Just going to have to read the books if you want the storyline. I've already been looking at picking them up. And it's not so much he hates the games so much as he didn't like the medium in which the story was presented. He doesn't like computer games in general. I have no idea how he's going to adapt the games around new books, if he decides to write them. They signed a new deal, so it can't be that acrimonious.
