Henry Cavill to play Geralt in The Witcher TV series

Recently, Netflix officially announced that the live-action TV series adapted from the original novel of "The Witcher" will be played by "Superman" actor Henry Cavill as "Geralt", with a total of 8 episodes in the first season. Cavill confirmed the news on his INS homepage this morning.

Lauren S. Hissrich, producer of The Witcher, praised Henry Cavill's joining. Hissrich said, "When we first met, I hadn't written the script for The Witcher yet. Although it was four months ago, I've never forgotten the impression he made on me. He is Geralt himself. I'm very happy to welcome Henry Cavill to The Witcher family."

The TV series "The Witcher" is adapted from the original novel by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, and the world view is broader than that of the game "The Witcher 3". Henry Cavill plays Geralt, a demon hunter who will help people hunt demons in this world full of monsters, and work with a powerful wizard and a princess with a secret to dominate the world.

As the main protagonist of the "Witcher" series, Geralt is an extremely capable killer who can use spell skills to hunt monsters. Although the novels have become increasingly popular in recent years, most people know Geralt mainly because of CD Projekt Red's "Witcher Trilogy" games.

The specific broadcast date of "The Witcher" TV series has not yet been announced. Hissrich said that the TV series is still in the early stages and the complete series will not be available before 2020.
