The dark, gritty setting, deep writing, and engaging characters are just a few of the reasons why the series has quickly become society’s newest fantasy obsession in a post-GOT era. The release of CDPR’s masterpiece The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt back in 2015 and this past year’s release of the eponymous Netflix show broke new ground for the series and have cemented Geralt of Rivia as a household name.
Based on the book series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher has become something of a global phenomenon in recent years. Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, odds are you’ve heard about the Witcher series.
