Hunting for story clues in Netflix's The Witcher episode titles And there's a cool Easter egg in there. News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 23 Nov 2019 11 comments Netflix has revealed the episode titles for The Witcher, among other teases. The Henry Cavill-starring show is set to launch its first season on Netflix, and ahead of time, Netflix took to Twitter to reveal the titles of the first eight episodes. Alongside each title is a brief description and a gif of its logo, and it's the descriptions that give us an idea of the events and themes the show will touch on. So, what can we expect? Well, the first episode, titled The End's Beginning, carries the following description: "A monster slain, a butcher named." This suggests the show will touch on Geralt's The Butcher of Blaviken origins. Did someone, somewhere, summon a djinn to then wish for all 8 chapter titles? Here you go. Now does anyone know a doctor to check Jaskier's vitals?A monster slain, a butcher named pic.twitter.com/PcXF1aeGSz- The Witcher (@witchernetflix) November 22, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Episode three, titled Betrayer Moon, has a bestial footprint as its logo. Werewolf gubbins, perhaps?

The Law of Surprise is an old custom that dictates that a man saved by another is expected to offer a boon as payment, usually the saved man's firstborn child. Episode five, Bottled Appetites, has the description: "A fateful meeting, a bard is maimed." Surely the bard is Dandelion.

This season finale surely sees Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri get together in some way.
