The Witcher is a fantasy series made by Netflix. Based on the book series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher made its debut on Netflix in December 2019. It is full of tales of war, magic, and monsters, and it also has some suitably epic ballads. The show stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, the main protagonist of the show who is a mutant monster-slayer for hire. He has a good friend with him called Jaskier (Joey Batey), however, he doesn’t really wants him to be his friend. Jaskier is a self-described “humble bard” who writes songs about Geralt’s adventures.
