You can always watch and rewatch the eight episodes of Season 1 streaming on Netflix (opens in new tab), or check out the short stories and novels of Andrzej Sapkowski focusing on Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri. The Witcher has already been renewed for Season 2, although reports about when filming plans to begin aren't too encouraging for new episodes coming any time soon. Although the timeline twistiness can get a bit confusing at times, when decades are passing for Yennefer (particularly following her intense physical transformation) while years pass for Geralt while only hours have passed for the unfortunate Ciri, the fast pace and development has already set up a potentially fantastic second season.Ĩ TV Shows Worth Streaming On Netflix As You Wait For The Witcher Season 2
Characters don't drop the same exposition at the beginning of every episode. The first glimpse of Henry Cavill’s Geralt is shown off immediately in his battle. The actors are good but they cannot overcome by themselves the weaknesses of the script.
#The witcher season 1 movie
In some ways, The Witcher Season 1 feels almost like an eight-hour movie rather than an eight-episode TV show that would be produced for a broadcast TV release. The Witcher starts off the first season with a scene featuring Geralt doing what he does best - slaying monsters. The plot is very messy and the timelines are scrambled. So to me, just as a writer, I love the opportunity because I feel like I can fit that much more story in every episode. I can be very smart about that storytelling and use basically all the time that I have to push story forward as opposed to looking back on story we already did. And I don't have to spend any of that eight hours reminding audiences what they saw the prior episode, or what they saw earlier in the season, or last season. The Witcher storytelling was shaped throughout Season 1 by virtue of its Netflix release, as Lauren Schmidt Hissrich went on to explain:Īs a storyteller though, what I love is that I have eight hours to tell all the stories that I want to tell.
