“Henry Cavill will play the lead role in the upcoming Netflix series based on “The Witcher,” Variety has learned.
“Based on the best-selling fantasy series, “The Witcher” follows Geralt of Rivia (Cavill), a solitary monster hunter, as he struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.
“But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.
“As Variety reported exclusively last year, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich serves as executive producer and showrunner on the series.
“In addition, Alik Sakharov, Alex Garcia Lopez, and Charlotte Brändström will all direct portions of the eight-episode first season, with Sakharov also serving as executive producer.”
