The Witcher Netflix Season Will Feature Eight Episode – Pilot To Air In 2020 23 April 2018 by Will Pell The first season of Netflix’s new Witcher series will have eight episodes. It will also be filmed in Eastern Europe. The executive producer (Lauren S. Hissrich) didn’t want to film anywhere else. This will sit beautifully in with the Aesthetics and setting of all of the Witcher games. Some people have already expressed sadness that it is only going to be 8 episodes long. It is fairly common to have the first season of a show to only have 6-10 episodes to gauge how well the season is received. From what we have seen we think it will be incredibly well received. The first episode is set to be released in 2020. We are still not sure on what in the Witcher world the series will be set around and whether it will tie in with the hugely popular games. ADVERT ADVERT There is also no news as to who will be in the series, we do know that Mads Mikkelsen has expressed an interest in playing Geralt. Happy Friday! So much information coming out of the @netflix event in Rome. I'm told by my friends and colleagues that the level of excitement and anticipation for #Witcher was crazy! Let's sort through it… - Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) April 20, 2018 EIGHT EPISODES. Yes! I know, I know, it may not seem like enough for you, but creatively, it's the right call. The episodes can be tight, action-packed, rich in character and story, without lagging in the middle of the season. Sounds good to me, sound good to you? - Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) April 20, 2018 2020. Who knows?! We're moving quickly ahead with everything — like, my head is spinning around Exorcist-style, except with enthusiasm, not evil possession — but one thing is certain: quality comes before speed. You'll get it as soon as humanly possible, and it'll be good. - Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) April 20, 2018 THE SCRIPT NEEDS POLISHED. I'd take a step back from that to say: the scripts need WRITTEN. I've finished the pilot, which yes, will be polished more when we cast/shoot. The other 7 episodes don't yet exist, except in my head. And guess what? New writers are joining me soon, too! - Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) April 20, 2018 WE'LL BE SHOOTING IN EASTERN EUROPE. Yes! This show couldn't exist anyplace else. Period. Also, I just spent ten days surrounded by Slavic eye-candy. I MUST come back, soon. - Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) April 20, 2018 ANYTHING ELSE? I'm here. (And no, we haven't cast yet. Don't even try.) - Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) April 20, 2018 Staffing up will happen fast, and furiously. There's lots to envision and prep. - Lauren S.
