Henry Cavill to Star in ‘Witcher’ Series at Netflix Im casually optimistic about the series, especially as Cavill is an fan of the books and games. Will be an adaptation of the books and not the games btw
Here is everything we know about the show Official description on Netflix: "The Witcher Geralt, a mutated monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts." Lauren S Hissrich is the showrunner Andrzej Sapkowski is a consultant for the show Tomasz Baginski, executive producer, said Sapkowski's exact contribution was "our little secret", but that they meet with him several times a year, and he gets the chance to look over scripts Platige Image are helping to produce the show – which includes Baginski (who will direct an episode) and Jarek Sawko Also listed as a production company for the show are the Sean Daniel Company – with Sean Daniel (The Mummy franchise, The Expanse) and Jason Brown (The Expanse) both executive producers (Source) Based on the CV of Production Designer Andrew Law, and previous rumours, it seems likely that Alik Sakharov will direct episodes This is an adaptation of the books, not the game – but we don't know for sure which books However, with Torque and Renfri both being cast, it seems likely both The Lesser Evil and The Edge of the World will be adapted The full season one arc has been pitched, and the writing room is now open The first season will be eight episodes At least some of the filming will be in eastern Europe (including Poland), but it will be filmed and completed solely in Europe The target date for releasing the show is 2020 Dandelion will be named "Jaskier", as in the original novels Casting for Geralt, Yennefer and Dandelion is under way. They will write scenes specifically for the casting process, so there are no leaks of the show itself There are strong rumours that filming for the show will take place in Budapest

I love all things Witcher and cautiously waiting for how they handle this. I think Cavill will do the role justice, but I the same time, its not who I had in mind.
Nah Mikklesen was another one of fan requested actors that fans wanted to play Geralt. In mock ups how he would have looked as Geralt they usually used images from this film in which Mads started in Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas - Wikipedia
