The Witcher series stars Henry Cavill as the grim Geralt of Rivia, the bane of supernatural beasties, in a story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil are not easily identified.

Netflix has also announced a prequel to The Witcher series “The Witcher: Blood Origin,” a limited series set in “The Witcher” universe in an Elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher.

The Witcher series starring Henry Cavill which arrived in December 2019 was seen by 76 million member households within a month of its debut, which also made it the most-watched original series within a month of its arrival. The series is already renewed for a second season which will arrive in the fall of 2021.
