In the process of communicating with users, the showrunner The Witcher Lauren Hissrich spoke about the principles of screenwriting selection.
Initially, the dialogue touched on the issue of racial and sexual diversity of the team of authors, and Hissrich noted that she was trying to take these points into account. In response, users noticed that, in theory, the selection criterion should be talent, not skin color or sexual orientation.
Hissrich advised a more detailed study of these issues before leaving sarcastic comments. Then her suggested tell in more detail about the screenwriting selection process.
How about enlightening us, what makes these “incredibly talented” authors so talented.
Or should all Witcher fans applaud diversity at the expense of talent?

Hissrich, in response, really decided to talk about the points that she draws attention to during the selection of authors – there were five in all.
Spectrum of scenario experience. Part of the team should consist of experienced people, part of the newcomers. Hissrich trains the latter in screenwriting, as she once did. But at the same time, experienced people are also needed who are well aware of the production process.
Different life experiences. Just the very variety that, according to the showrunner, makes the story richer, because everyone had different experiences. It allows you to look at situations from different angles.
Experience in working with genres. Everyone should be familiar with the original books, but people who wrote stories of different genres (horror, politics, and so on) are also required.
No “goats” – authors with a bad character are not accepted into the team.
The selection of talented screenwriters of Hissrich herself. According to her, this is determined by reading the script “blindly” – that is, the identity of the author is unknown. If the result is successful, then the author passes the verification of the previous paragraphs.
The Witcher consists of many elements. And there is only one Sapkovsky who knows how to work with everyone at once.
