If publisher ‘Platige’ is to believed, Netflix is developing and producing a new show based on The Witcher, the popular novel/video game franchise from Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

It will apparently be based on The Witcher Saga which is eight novels all set in the universe of The Witcher.

This is absolutely huge news. The Witcher has a huge following and is one of the best video game series of all times. It’s expected that it’d be sometime away considering we’re just getting the announcement now.
