Netflix’s the Witcher officially has a trailer, but if you want to hear the behind-the-scenes thoughts of actor Henry Cavill, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, and more, you’ve come to the right place. The cast and Hissrich joined IGN to discuss the making of the show, as well as what similarities the show has to the best-selling RPG games.
“For me personally, it’d be like playing another run of the Witcher 3 but with a completely different skin on,” Cavill told IGN. “That I think would be interesting. I’ve played it through a number of times now, and it’s like OK, cool, I’ve done it, I’ve seen, and I still get that enjoyment of playing it through, but what if I could play it slightly differently. Then yeah, this is kind of what it is for me when you’re doing the show. Yes, it’s Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher, but he looks like me now. For me, that’s an interesting thing. It creates a freshness to it, because the themes are still very similar.”
