Showrunner and writer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich shared some exciting news about the pilot script for The Witcher TV series on Twitter. The upcoming Netflix fantasy drama is based on the book series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski and could possibly serve as the streaming giants answer to Game of Thrones.

I wonder what kind of budget they'll have for this.

If they pump enough money into this and do it right it could end up being really good.

I know right? I hope it's a lot better than the trash fire that is GoT.

I really really look forward to seeing some of the short stories in video form. Don't really care about the novel portion of things

apparently the show is more based on the games than the books. I never read the books myself, so I dont know how far the game deviates.

Really? I thought it was the exact opposite. Apparently one of the major players involved played the games, though, so that's heartening news.

just read a bit more. i guess its a mix of both

It will be based on the books, but Geralts character will be inspired by the video games.

As long as the writing doesn't go to shit as soon as they deviate from the source material

i kinda excited for it. I feel like games should be done in show format because i never liked condensing 10+ hours in to 90 mins. Too much shit gets lost

I posted my initial thoughts in a Discord but I'll just copy them here:

"I'm not too excited about The Witcher show mostly because Geralt to me is the guy in the games. If he sounds too different it won't feel right and if he tries to do some imitation of videogame voice then it'll be weird."

The games are set after all the books, so it'd be tough to get them to coexist really unless they cover both

Just imagine the following....

Geralt sees a mob of Drowners 20 meters away, he stops to make camp, and prepare his potions for the fight ahead. After 6 hours, he charges in and kills them.
