The Witcher
DramaAction2019Rated 7.8

Next season
Season 5announced, no date yet
All at once, 8 episodes, last aired Thu, 30 Oct 2025
Is it for me?
Swordfights and swamp monsters suit viewers who want fantasy that is muddy and violent, with a gruff hero of few words. Geralt drags a kikimora carcass into town on his horse Roach, and the locals want him gone. Henry Cavill gives him a low, gravelly growl and fights with a convincing physical weight.
Before you start
Season one jumps between storylines and time periods before they meet, and Geralt's early monster jobs mostly stand alone, so give it a few episodes.
4 seasons, 32 episodes, 57 min each, about 30 hours so far
