Netflix has released a short, quick-cut teaser for its upcoming series ‘The Witcher’. This isn’t a full trailer, but with this release, it is expected that that is coming within the next four days. It is believed that Netflix will announce when the show will finally arrive at that time.
‘The Witcher’ TV series was created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski. Schmidt serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Although he initially reported that he would have no involvement, Sapkowski met with Hissrich last year and then announced that he would serve as a creative consultant.
