Netflix has shared the first exclusive look at the series sets as the production has started. 

Changeovers from a book to a live series are nothing new because these books have gained a large following over the years.

Their adaptations consider various factors where the readers must become intimately acquainted with these characters and how the story unfolds across the pages. 

The Witcher is a Polish-American fantastical drama television series created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, based on the same-named book series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. 

Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they find out they’ve landed on a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery.
