Som du säkert vet jobbar Netflix på en TV-serie baserad på The Witcher-romanerna tillsammans med Andrzej Sapkowski som skrivit dem. Nu har mer information om planerna avslöjats via seriens manusförfattare Lauren Schmidt Hissrich som twittrar att första säsongen kommer bestå av åtta avsnitt på en timme vardera. Inspelningen kommer för övrigt ske i Östeuropa för att få till allt autentiskt. Premiärdatum vill hon inte bjussa på, men skriver att det åtminstone blir efter 2020.
"Happy Friday! So much information coming out of the @netflix event in Rome. I'm told by my friends and colleagues that the level of excitement and anticipation for #Witcher was crazy! Let's sort through it...
EIGHT EPISODES. Yes! I know, I know, it may not seem like enough for you, but creatively, it's the right call. The episodes can be tight, action-packed, rich in character and story, without lagging in the middle of the season. Sounds good to me, sound good to you?
2020. Who knows?! We're moving quickly ahead with everything — like, my head is spinning around Exorcist-style, except with enthusiasm, not evil possession — but one thing is certain: quality comes before speed. You'll get it as soon as humanly possible, and it'll be good.
WE'LL BE SHOOTING IN EASTERN EUROPE. Yes! This show couldn't exist anyplace else. Period. Also, I just spent ten days surrounded by Slavic eye-candy. I MUST come back, soon.
I have several seasons mapped out in my head — the rest is in the hands of the gods. (And by "gods," I mean the viewers who watch and keep watching). In terms of characters, I can't confirm anyone without revealing spoilers. Except Geralt. And Roach, of course."
