The Witcher Netflix series team has been hard at work, traversing the world to bring authenticity to a beloved fantasy franchise. While we still don’t have an official release date, luckily the new series is slated for a 2019 launch and even better for a potential reveal soon is that the showrunner herself, Lauren Hissrich, has shown off quite a few new looks at some incredible promo art, including a closer look at Geralt, Yennefer, and more!
The share drop began with the first poster for the show, showing “The worst monsters are the ones we create.” Check it out below:

Back to where we started! @witchernetflix
YENNEFER IS:
Fiery.
Proud.
Shrewd.
Contradictory.

With a tagline of “The Witcher Geralt, a mutated monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts,” we can’t help but to be completely excited for the upcoming 8 episode-long series! Fans are even warming up to the idea of Cavill as Geralt himself following numerous photos leaked of him on set and during his grueling training regime when getting in tip-top witcher shape.
The upcoming show stars Man of Steel’s Henry Cavill as the main protagonist himself, alongside Freya Allan as Ciri, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, and Anna Shaffer as Triss Merigold. The author of the books himself is also on board with the project, working as the creative consultant for Hissrich’s vision.
