The Witcher
From humble beginnings as a series of Polish fantasy novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher has grown into a worldwide phenomenon spanning video games, comics, and a hit Netflix series. At its heart is Geralt of Rivia, the gruff but noble monster hunter navigating a world of political intrigue, moral ambiguity, and plenty of beasts that go bump in the night.
The franchise exploded into global fame with CD Projekt Red’s critically acclaimed video games, particularly The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which set a new gold standard for open-world RPGs. Netflix then introduced an even wider audience to Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri, cementing The Witcher as one of fantasy’s most beloved modern sagas. With its blend of dark humor, complex characters, and unforgettable monsters, this franchise is a dream for fans of epic storytelling.
