The creator of the series “The Witcher” was justified by the game “The Witcher 3” in front of haters

The Witcher showrunner from The Witcher Netflix Lauren Schmidt Hissrich (Lauren Schmidt Hissrich), to justify the dissatisfied audience, decided to refer to the game “The Witcher 3”.

Some fans of the book series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski and the cult game “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt“(The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt) from CD Projekt RED criticized the Netflix series for visual style. According to Gamebomb.ru, some fans of the franchise felt that the authors had lost the spirit of Slavic fantasy, turning the world of Geralt from Rivia into an ordinary American series in a medieval setting. The showman of the series The Witcher Lauren Hissrich tried to make excuses for this. She said that the visual style just borrowed from the famous game “The Witcher 3”.

In another interview, Lauren Hissrich reminded everyone that she is not a gamer and usually does not play video games, Gamebomb.ru reports. In the case of The Witcher, she made an exception. As soon as Hissrich took up this project, she turned to her friend Matt Owens. He is an avid gamer, so she insisted that he let her play The Witcher 3. Enough of her for a while. Hissrich stopped very quickly and decided to do otherwise. Her friend Matt continued to play, and she herself simply watched his passage and drank beer. She liked the visual design of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, so she tried to transfer it to the screen. “This is probably the biggest thing I took from the game,” said Lauren Hissrich.

The series “The Witcher” from Netflix was released on December 20, 2019. On this day, all 8 episodes of the first season became available to users immediately. “The Witcher” Season 2 will be released in early 2023. Now the team is preparing to start the filming process and create the scenery.
