Based on the dark fantasy novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, Man of Steel star Henry Cavill serves as the show’s protagonist, Geralt of Rivia. A monster hunter that is struggling to find his place in a cutthroat world inhabited by dangerous supernatural creatures and humans that are just as ruthless as the creatures inhabiting the land. The Witcher TV series is set to follow Geralt’s adventures and how his life will be changed after he becomes linked to a powerful sorceress and a young princess who holds a dark secret. Together, the trio must learn how to navigate this brutal world.
