In the books and games, Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a person who hunts monsters that plague the Continent. His fate ultimately leads him to Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, or simply Ciri, a young princess who possesses a dark power.

Geralt and Ciri’s story is not complete without Yennefer of Vengerberg, a sorceress who is tied to the Witcher.

The Witcher series is based on the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, which has been turned into a successful game series. The show was created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and is expected to air on Netflix later this year.

The premise of The Witcher reads as follows:

“Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.”

The Witcher is expected to premiere on Netflix by November 2019.
