Holy shit......Cavil pulled it off, even the completely dead tone voice.

I wasn't expecting it this soon, so fucking hyped!!!!!


This is starting from the first book correct?

Looking pretty good. Do Netflix shows release all of their episodes at once or do they come out weekly?

I'm so hyped for this! I will say, and I know it's so little to go off from a few lines in a trailer but I really hope Geralt is a little more emotive. I understand how he's portrayed in the games but I hope there will be scenes to explore a bit more range.

Pffft, why it had to be Cavill. Will be watching because of the source material and Chalotra, but hype levels are quite low unfortunately. It doesn't seem awful though.

Yen's voice weirds me out, will take getting used too. The battle looks sort of comical, Nilfgaard armor does indeed suck. Other than that looks fun and well made. Praying the writers have the proper chops to remold the material without ruining it.

That looks good but not as good as it could have been. I really like actress playing Ciri but something about Cavill and actress playing Yen seems off and I'm huge fan of the books - I've read them six or seven times in Polish so far.

Going to watch this for sure, but this trailer and the previous one just come off to me like a show that wants to be epic, but has too small of a budget to make that actually work. So instead of lavish sets, we have what looks rather barren. Kind of like watching The Last Kingdom, except setting aside much of the budget for special effects.

All you English dub playing videogamesmen make me sad. That includes Cavill, I guess.

Freya Allan is by far the best of the three, it's just too bad the casting meant that they also had to completely change who Ciri is at the start of the story. She'd be a great fit for Ciri after Thanedd, though probably won't be anymore when the show gets there (what with her being over 20 and all).

That looks so good! Yes, bring it Netflix.

Props to Henry Cavill for taking over this character, knowing the expectations from the two communities, readers of the series and gamers would be crazy high.
And CD Projekt Red you guys made this happen.

Looks better than I anticipated.
I don't expect the show to be amazing but if it's kind of good I will probably watch it.

Gotta be honest, I feel that Netflix's "release all at once" is a terrible idea for this series. It seems the kind of show that'd benefit from being spread weekly.

The wrinkly scrotum Armor still looks absolutely idiotic (not just from a visual standpoint... imagine making armor with notches to make it easier for spears or swords to find an edge and get through lol)

This too, i wouldn't mind a week to week podcast discussion by a group of people to keep me busy at work.

luckily Disney won't be dumping things on us as a Binge.

you would think Netflix would do it that way to retain subscribers for at least 2 months.

it is, I can count 2-3 short stories from this trailer alone

Because Cavill is a HUGE fan of the witcher, having read the books and played the games.

You are wasting your time posting this, 99% of the people posting here only played the games and i'm pretty sure, 99,9999% of the people that played the games only played The Witcher 3.
I don't see this as a bad thing tho, from the books, humans are far worst than the monsters themselves

this trailer is certainly better than the first one. still a bit cautious with the show though. there's so much weird, fantastical shit going on, i hope it all works and there's good character chemistry.

Damn Henry really nailed Geralt's voice. Also, nice tub scene.

To be honest that applies to a lot, if not all their shows and the shows the licensed, as when they do that them the conversation of the shows quickly die-off as the conversation will be about the whole season instead of each individual episode as no will be comfortable talking about the episodes individuality as there is too much risk to spoil it to someone who hasn't caught up.

Looks great! I've had the books on my shelf for a while now but haven't gotten around to reading them..Is the first season based on the first book or ?
