Geralt of Riviera unveils "The Witcher" television series on December 20th
The highly anticipated first season of "The Witcher," the critically acclaimed fantasy series based on the novels of Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, premiered globally on Netflix on December 20, 2019. Russian residents can now enjoy the series in their native language, as Russian dubbing was made available by Netflix around the same time.
At the heart of the series is Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter played by Henry Cavill. Geralt's training in special schools for abandoned boys and his subsequent mutations have transformed him into a formidable force, capable of wielding powerful witcher signs alongside his sword.
The fight scenes in "The Witcher" have been praised by several film critics, with comparisons to those in "Game of Thrones" being unfavorable. The first fight scene featuring Geralt is particularly noteworthy for its brutality and the seamless combination of swordsmanship and witcher signs.
In addition to Geralt, the series features a diverse cast of characters. Milva, a skilled archer, and Jaskier, a roaming bard, accompany Geralt on his adventures. An ancient vampire also makes an appearance, adding an extra layer of danger and intrigue to the story.
One of Geralt's most significant tasks is to protect and save Ciri, a young princess. The character development in "The Witcher" is commended by critics, with Geralt often misunderstood or not appreciated in the series. Henry Cavill's portrayal of Geralt is a testament to his acting skills, as he embodies the complexities of the character with depth and nuance.
To prepare for the role, Cavill followed a special diet to better match the Slavic monster hunter's appearance in the series. The series promises to be visually stunning, lengthy, action-packed, and almost faithful to the source material.
Production for the second season of "The Witcher" is scheduled to begin in February 2020, with eight hour-long episodes planned. Episodes of "The Witcher" will be available from 11:00 AM Moscow time for Russian viewers. If you're a fan of fantasy, action, and character-driven drama, "The Witcher" is not to be missed.
Explore the engrossing world of 'movies-and-tv' with 'entertainment' like never before with Netflix's 'The Witcher', a critically acclaimed series set in the realm of 'sci-fi-and-fantasy'. As another season commences, Russian fans can now delight in their native language with Russian dubbing available on Netflix.
