The journey of “The Witcher” began in 1985, when Andrzej Sapkowski, a 38-year-old traveling salesman at the time, decided to enter a short story competition. He did it for his son, who was an avid magazine reader. He waited a year for the results, but it was worth it, as he got the third position. After receiving enormous attention from fans, he wrote more stories in response to their demands. The books were then made into a TV series exclusive to Netflix. Andrzej Sapkowski serves as a creative consultant on the show.
The Cast of “The Witcher”
The main cast of “The Witcher” has Henry Cavill as “Geralt of Rivia.” Anya Chalotra as “Yennefer”.

What is “The Witcher” About?
“The witcher Geralt, a mutated monster hunter, struggles to find his place in the world where people often prove more wicked than beasts” –Netflix website.
The Witcher has a vast background story. Witcher is not a person but a profession. They are monster hunters who hunt a variety of beasts and ghouls on the Continent, which is the place where the Witcher takes place. All Witchers use a variety of tools and weapons and hunt these monsters. They also have magic spells called Signs which they can cast on the monsters.
Another exciting thing about the Witchers is that they are not born but made. They are trained at schools located in various parts of the world.
The Witcher Games
Action role-playing games have also been made based on the novel series by Andrzej Sapkowski. The first game has two sequels, The Witcher: Assassins of the Kings (2011) and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015). In addition, Cd Projekt has announced that four more Witcher games are in the works.
The Moody Monster Hunter
Henry Cavill, who is playing the role of Geralt of Rivia in “The Witcher,” has gained enormous attention from fans. The good news is that our “moody monster hunter” is not going anywhere. He seems pretty immersed in the character. He has also read books by Andrzej Sapkowski and plays video games by CD Projekt red. It is clear that he cares about the character, and revealed that once he just went in front of the camera and performed a dialogue that was not in the script. This dialogue was taken straight out of the book, as he felt captivated by its poetry.
