The showrunner for Netflix’s take on The Witcher, Lauren Hissrich, has revealed new details about the upcoming “very adult” show.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she explained “We’re not adapting the video games, it’s a straight adaptation of the books. Which is great as the video games are also an adaptation of the books. They went one direction, we actually get to go another.”
Instead, the series seems to mirror Game of Thrones’ formula, mixing politics, sex, and drama into a first season that focuses on world building. Plus, in an interesting twist, there’s no main baddie.
