We’re rolling out sneak peeks for Netflix’s The Witcher all month long as part of our IGN First exclusive set visit. Keep it locked right here for never-before-seen interviews and behind the scenes footage of the White Wolf, Ciri, and Yennefer. And be sure to check out The Witcher when it premieres on Netflix on Friday, December 20, 2019.
When we first encountered Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia on the set of Netflix’s The Witcher series in Budapest, there were no massive green screens or charging hordes of enemy combatants. Instead, Cavill stood stoically near a riverbed, accompanied by his horse, Roach, and the bard Jaskier (Joey Batey) — also known as Dandelion in the games and English translations of the novels. Before embarking on our journey to the Continent, we had already devoured Andrzej Sapkowski’s books and played hundreds of hours of The Witcher video game franchise, and it was truly surreal to see Cavill’s Geralt out in the wild.
