Polish animation studio Platige has revealed that it's working on a new series with streaming giant Netflix that's based on The Witcher. Tomek Baginski, a respected Polish animator and director, is helping head the project. Already sounds quite promising, doesn't it?
Given that Platige is primarily an outfit that specialises in CG and 3D animation, we suppose that the possibly of this being an animated show does exist - especially taking Baginski's line of work into account - but it's more likely that it'll just be stuffed with special effects.
In any case, we're looking forward to hearing more. The Witcher has such a rich fantasy world that a good TV adaptation could really stand out - especially if it embraces the property's darker elements.

Hype!
Interesting. I'd rather play another Witcher game though.
Good Company to make it, based on their track record. Just finished Season 2 of Sense 8. Great series. They have done well with their super hero series too.
Stephen Lang (if an American adaptation) for Geralt. Called it.
Bagiński stated some time ago that it's gonna be a live action movie covering some of the short stories, rather then the novels and Sapkowski himself will be involved. Hopefully the budget will be decent enough too.
HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Lurker That does sound good. The stories from The Last Wish were great.
@Elodin
I just started season 2 of Sense8. Great show! Black Mirror season 3 is good too!
"Geralt a load of that".
What craft. Teach me your ways.
Yes and give me the Yennifer and Trish love scenes and that blond witch at the start along with the great monster hunting
Games of Thrones: Witcher Edition is what I thought of when I saw this lol.
All they have to do is stay away from Geralt and co. There are so many other places, characters and Witcher guilds to explore. Potential
@lacerz Nice. I binge watched the last 4 episodes lol. The whole "just one more episode" got me. Hopefully they cast Witcher 3 well.
