FYI - to fill the GOT void - another fantasy (gothic type) series starts this fall on Netflix based on the novels The Witcher. I have read them and they are entertaining. Some similarities to GOT, but very different as well. Hopefully will be good.

I think it looks pretty good from that teaser, I really hope they do the books justice. I am still a little leery of some of the casting choices, but I will give the benefit of the doubt

I'm excited for this but expect it to be disappointing.

So this follows the book and doesn't touch on the video game is that right?

Yes, this is an adaptation of the short stories and witcher saga prior to the video games

I am curious to know how they will adapt the show plot to the books. As there are the non linear short story books, and then the better linear series novels that follow.

I thought Yennefer was supposed to be hot?!


I ****ed her 20 times in the game.


But Triss Merigold will always be my Baby.

Anya Chalotra. Actress playing Yennefer. Pretty attractive to me. But to ea his/her own I guess.

They made Triss's face a little weird in Witcher 3. But Triss in 2 was bae.

In the books shes a hunchback but uses magic to make herself hot. Looks like we get that story in the show. You can see her tranformed if you watch the trailer closely.

They did the ol' replace the ginger with a black actor for "diverse audience" reasons.

The books describe her hair as chestnut.

She's cute.


But Yennefer was bend-me-over-the-desk smoking.


CD Projekt Red had her right.

You know... because of all the black girls roaming the wilds of medieval fantasy Poland.

In the game, Yennefer was basically a Kate Beckinsale clone. Should have cast her!

Because gingers are the most hated people on the planet. I face discrimination on a daily basis. You know where they got the n-word. They misspelled ginger. Nobody acknowledges the hate we get.

P.S. This is all sarcasm. Don't ban me.

I pulled this off the Witcher reddit page that I follow. I'm sure they'll have some sort of over-arching plot-line to weave it together. Basically a short story per episode with some additional stuff in them like Yen's transformation and Ciri's youth before Geralt.

The episodes in order are (and yes this is official based on casting)
[ol]
  • The Lesser Evil
  • Edge of the World
  • The Witcher
  • A Question of Price
  • The Last Wish
  • Bounds of Reason
  • Sword of Destiny
  • Something More/ Battle of Sodden
  • [/ol]

    That actually looks decent. I'm a HUGE Witcher fan (have only played the games though, but the Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time).

    I'll definitely be watching, but Triss being black is ****ing stupid.

    Very excited about this series. Witcher 3 is the greatest video game made so far. Got me into the books which are fun to read as well. Netflix didn't have a very big presence at Comic-Con and I didn't see much Witcher promotion there. I hope that isn't a bad sign that Netflix is going cheap on the show.

    So far all of the previews look good though. Please don't screw this up Netflix. I'll be really worried if I see a future episode titled "Gwent: The Gathering".

    Just realized the logo for the show is Geralt's wolf, Ciri's swallow and Yennefer's obsidian star

    Breakdown of the teaser.......

    Why does Yennefer look like she has snuff in her mouth?

    Man there is some wrong info in that article, but overall its a decent breakdown.

    Yen was heavily abused as a child as well as a hunch-back so I assume they're making her look as beat up as possible.

    I loved the Witcher books and am really excited for this.

    That said, they completely miscast Yennifer and Triss.
