More information about The Witcher is expected to be revealed by Netflix during San Diego Comic-Con which will take place on July 19.
The Netflix show is expected to target Game of Thrones fans who have been left hung out to dry after the end of HBO’s epic series’ final season.
“Casting The Witcher has been one of the biggest projects of my career, and undoubtedly the most exciting,” announced Schmidt Hissrich on the Netflix platform. “I can’t wait for these wonderful actors to bring such iconic and loved characters to life on screen, and to share these special stories with viewers all over the world.”
