The Witcher Netflix series will deviate from CD Projekt RED’s version of Geralt

The Witcher brand has never been as hot as it is right now, in large part thanks to the incredible success of Wild Hunt. As a result, Netflix has agreed to take on a series based on the Andrzej Sapkowski stories, which as it turns out will deviate at least somewhat from CD Projekt RED's vision of Geralt of Rivia. Speaking with Inn Poland, The Witcher Netflix series’ director Tomasz Bagiński talked about the comparisons between the games and how the series will handle the protagonist.

Bagiński expressed praise for CD Projekt RED's work on the series but explained that the novels left a window of interpretation open in telling the same story. The version of Geralt of Rivia that we see in the games is far more concrete than the one that Sapkowski describes in the novels, so as a result, the Netflix series will be looking to take advantage of those creative freedoms.

There still isn't much known about the show, including when we will get to see it. Though, given that the series was just announced, we are likely a ways off from it seeing the light of day.
