The Witcher

The Witcher is a fantasy franchise originating from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski's book series, expanded through a popular video game trilogy and Netflix television adaptation.

The title refers to Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter with supernatural abilities gained through mutations and training.

I've been playing The Witcher all weekend.

The games and show have made the property a global phenomenon.
