The Witcher TV series strictly follows the original novel and will not adapt the game plot

The Witcher TV series will officially premiere this week, and Geralt will begin a new journey. Will the TV series reproduce the classic plot of The Witcher game? The official clearly stated that The Witcher TV series will strictly follow the original novel and will not adapt the plot of the game.

Lauren Hissrick, executive producer and screenwriter of The Witcher TV series, was recently interviewed. She said that Geralt is not a person who would mix personal moral values ​​into his adventures. He will not stop to examine whether his behavior is right or wrong. Lauren emphasized that The Witcher TV series will revolve around the original novel. When asked whether the TV series will adapt the story based on CDPR's The Witcher game trilogy, she said: "The games are indeed great, but they are also adapted from novels. I don't think it is necessary for TV series to compete with games. They have their own value."

Although The Witcher TV series is based on the novels, it will also have some familiar elements that players love. At the same time, the show will touch on the gray areas of morality and other "family relationships" between Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri. Compared with the game, The Witcher TV series will not compromise on adult content. Bloody battles, indescribable scenes, and profound adult themes can all be expected.

The Witcher TV series will be launched on December 20, 2019, with a total of 8 episodes in the first season. The filming of the second season will start on February 17, 2020. Perhaps fans will be able to see the second season of The Witcher TV series online in 2020.
