Showrunner Lauren Hissrich recently spoke on Flickering Myth’s Writing Experience podcast. She said that everything about The Witcher has been a real learning process. She sounds eager to get back to work and do it better this time.
“Everything about The Witcher has been a real learning process for me. It’s the beauty of being able to do this for the first time and then get to come back and do it again.”
She plans to look at what didn’t work, get rid of it and start over, including the Nilfgaardian armor. Thank god for that, because the armor looks atrocious and it deserves the ‘ballsack’ armor name.
“Season 2 is exciting. It’s a chance to look at the mistakes we’ve made in Season 1 and do it better, tell stories better, improve some things, look at what didn’t work, get rid of it and start over. The Nilfgaard armour will be totally different. You have that opportunity with season two to go back and course-correct if you want to.”
Hopefully she will get something similar to the Nilfgaardian armor of the game, which was beautify well made. The costume designer of season one has been replaced by Lucinda Wright, the costume designer of the TV show Doctor Who.
“What was important for us about the Nilfgaardian army was to bring it away from the Cintran army. Cintra has an incredibly well-trained army that comes from a kingdom with a lot of money. We wanted to contrast that with Nilfgaard, which obviously is a very powerful army as well, but is moving northward and has been for a while, and conscripting new people into its army.”
According to Netflix the live-action adaptation of The Witcher is a massive hit and is on track to become the biggest season TV series they have.

You can watch a video of Henry Cavill talking about the witcher’s swords and another where he breaks down the Blaviken fight scene.
Thanks IGN.

Sure, is not like she lied during the production of the show….and sh*t all over the lore.
i remember reading somewhere that she put a interracial scene in it to represent europe not being racist anymore and the white people clapping in the background are representing america congratulating europe…yup.
I agree with everything you said except the Ghost in the Shell part. While it strayed from the source material, I still really liked it.
Excellent they will correct the ball sack
“and conscripting new people into its army.””
yeah i bet they’re mostly browns and black.
It will still suck balls with her in charge.
*with any woman in charge
“Only a Sith deals in absolutes” ?
point me to a good female writer.
and you are getting your lips ready.
Don’t project your own desires onto others.
““Everything about The Witcher has been a real learning process for me”
some f4ggot must be handing out good franchises to these low iq women who can’t write shet. funny thing is this feminist baboon admits it yet she’s still allowed to write for some reason.
Chris Kuntouras, why are you wasting our time writing articles about TV shows based on books? You need to be writing about the work involved with humming John P’s beanbag while balancing a di|do across your bare buttcheeks.
More strong and independent women character incoming in season two… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/afd7777292dc38082f8f163d2e398f06cc3fff23851687a76a186953f4f18adb.gif
Good. Season 1 was good enough. If Season 2 is even better then i am happy.
The only thing that about the series that I could not stand was the time frame pacing. I mean if you know the books / played the game you could pick up on what was going on and when was when. But still I think they just need to work on the pacing better for season 2. Season 1 just had a lot of back and forth in time frames that I think could have been just completly avoided.
So they’ll change half the cast back to white people? Nice.
If they read the DSO forums lol
Going by the title i ask : A recast of actors but Geralt?
After reading it i say: b*tch please!

The biggest mistakes of the show aren’t considered mistakes unfortunately…
geralt has 2 sword, but in season 1, geralt only using 1 sword almost all the times…. 🙁
You are thinking of the games. The book Geralt rarely fights with his silver sword, which usually rests on Roach.
I canceled my Netflix subscription after this travesty, I’ve had enough of their awful woke shows. Now everything they produce is the same old hero female bad white male garbage.
I was imagining what errors? The witcher is too white? Too many white people on the cast? Lack of representation of feminst females transgenders and so on?
Geez
Oh god… thank goodness, great news! That means no more diversitywashed characters!
Wait.. of course not, they will double down, on that massive mistake, obviously.!
this show invites comparison with two things: Game of Thrones and the Witcher video game series. The show is a turd-fest compared to both.
