The Witcher Renewed for Season 3, franchise expansion

Honestly I feel like there are parts of the world beyond the super dark violent that we see with Geralt and would probably fit into some PG13 work. Avatar and She-ra do it, so it'll depend on the show runner having a good idea for it.
A little elf was skipping down the path
Plough 'em all, Plough 'em all
Along came a dwarf and kicked him in the arse
Plough 'em all, Plough 'em all
Oh you are ****ed, dirty rotten scum
Plough 'em all, Plough 'em all
Do that again and I'll **** yer mum
Plough 'em all, Plough 'em all

Fun for the whole family.
The Witcher apart from violence and sex, the main parts of the books atleast were moral dilemmas, dark themes and realistic human behaviours (cursing, jokes, doing nasty or awful things to each other, etc.), politics and so on.. making out of that a "family friendly" show is in my opinion just milking the franchise.. I really can't see a family friendly show in the world that the Witcher is set in
I mean, witchers are basically Jedis. With an awful backstory for reasons.
I know it's possible, but it becomes a bit odd for the brand. Like now you've got a show that some kids like and you've gotta make sure they do not see the other connected material for the ip they love? It gets a bit weird. It's also one thing if they have an idea that just so happens to shy away from that stuff and be fine but this seems like they'll be specifically marketing it as kids and family.
Yep that's correct. There is a behind the scenes look they uploaded right now and she was there in the first few minutes.
Got into The Witcher 2 months ago loved the first season and the anime movie. Very much looking forward to more Vessemir. Haven't started the books or played the games.
I think the logic is that everyone KNOWS teenagers will consume Rated R material, especially if it's a streaming service, just like teenagers consume games rated Mature 17+.
So making kid-friendly content spin-off from mature franchises will capture the attention of kids younger than that, and when they become teenagers, they'll be interested in the more mature works of the franchise.
Curious if they end up doing the stories from the games since they're going to run out of book material at some point.
Animated show following the last batch of kids that were trained by Vesimir. :D
Can't believe they canceled the main show to make a family friendly show... wait, what do you mean it's a different thing that won't take away from the main show at all and I don't have to watch it if I don't want to?
Kid friendly version of the universe that just showed us a bunch of kids getting brutally murdered lol
"Pulled it off" is debatable
If they pulled off with Attack on titan, they can do it with the Witcher.
Be warned if you don't want to be spoiled on the ending of the show and books. Don't play the Witcher games yet. They take place after the books ending and as a result the games pretty much all open by telling you how the books ended. Though if you don't mind spoilers you can go ahead and play them.
That's great news! I loved season 1, so knowing we'll get more beyond the next season is great.
I would watch this too, tbh.
I don't know, a more light-hearted show with an emphasis on adventure and lots of banter might be interesting. I would watch that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would watch this too, tbh.
I've never seen this
If they pulled off with Attack on titan, they can do it with the Witcher.
Ohh thanks for the heads up. I was going to wait till after the PS5 Witcher update to start it.
The 1980s are back baby! Continuing the trend of kids programming made out of shit like Robocop, Rambo, Highlander, and The Toxic Avenger!
