Netflix The Witcher Authors Declare Love for CD Projekt RED Games – There Will Be More References in Season Two

Last year on a digital service Netflix premiere of the series The witcherbased on the book cycle of novels by a Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Adaptation broke Netflix’s records, but some of the old fans criticized her. In particular, the show was criticized for a rather free interpretation of events and artistic images from the original work and a somewhat unconventional approach to narration.

Another reason for controversy in fan circles was the position of the creators of the show in relation to the famous series of role-playing games of the studio CD Projekt RED. As is well known, the witcher has its mark in the mass consciousness Geralt of Rivia left precisely due to the release of the game trilogy, this is especially true for Western fans of the universe.

However, during the production cycle of the first season The witcher The team of show runners repeatedly tried to convey the same idea: their series is an adaptation of books, not games, respectively, it is created without taking into account decisions made CDPR as part of their work.

This distancing from millions of interactive adventures beloved by millions led many to conclude that gamingThe witcher“The show’s authors are not at all interested. But as it turned out, this is not at all what the showrunner personally admitted Lauren Hissrich in conversation with the portal Tv guide.

“We love these games. Obviously, we personally wanted to turn back a bit and turn to the source, rather than adapt adaptation. But this in no way means that there are no fans of the game series among us, that we are not familiar with it and that we don’t understand that a huge part of our audience heard about The Witcher exclusively through games, so yes, we try to refer to them as often as possible. I even visited the CD Projekt RED studio. I personally met all these wonderful and talented people. the works are magnificent. Therefore, if we manage to make an accurate sending in their direction, we will not miss such an opportunity, “the showrunner explained.

Second season full production The witcher from Netflix was supposed to begin this spring. But with the pandemic, plans have changed dramatically. Now that various constraints around the world are beginning to subside, the filming process should continue in a short time. Adventure Continuation Premiere Geralt, Ciri and Yennifer still scheduled for next year.
