Spoiler Warning: This article features spoilers for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and minor spoilers for the Witcher book series by Andrzej Sapkowski.

Andrzej Sapkowski's next The Witcher book will be a standalone novel based on Geralt of Rivia, the author has confirmed.

Andrzej Sapkowski may have penned The Witcher novels, which in turn inspired both CD Projekt Red's video game series and Netflix's TV adaptation, but that doesn't mean that the streaming service ever listened to his feedback.

When it comes to The Witcher, it’s one of the best examples of having adaptations across multiple forms of media and having those adaptations be good. It started as a book series, then was picked up by CD Projekt Red, who turned it into an award-winning gaming franchise, and then Netflix grabbed it, and they’ve had three seasons of it on their streaming service, with a spinoff or two to boot. So you’d think that franchise fans and those associated with it would be happy with everything happening. However, when it comes to the franchise’s creator, he does have some bitter feelings.

The Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski isn't interested in playing CD Projekt Red's games.

Andrzej Sapkowski's got a new Witcher book on the way, which means he's out and about being his usual scorchingly, wonderfully honest self on the interview circuit. Most recently, he's been at Vienna Comic Con, where he chatted with Austrian gaming website Cerealkillerz about writing (don't do it), videogames (he doesn't play them), and the Netflix Witcher TV series (they didn't listen to him).

The Witcher series hasn't been doing too well in recent years, routinely angering fans by straying too far from the source material, putting little effort into CGI and costumes, and replacing Geralt of Rivia actor Henry Cavill with Liam Hemsworth for future seasons. Cavill's departure was the turning point for a lot of fans, who have been rallying against the show ever since. Now, they have a new reason to be angry.

The Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski has given fans a release window for the highly anticipated next book in the series, alongside a possible tease of its story.

The original voice of Geralt is returning to voice The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep – and fans are beyond stoked.

Netflix has revealed Doug Cockle — the gravelly voice of Geralt of Rivia in CD Projekt's The Witcher series — will be reprising his role as the silver-haired monster-bopper in a new animated movie coming to the streaming service «late» next year.

The news is out: we're getting another The Witcher spin-off from Netflix. Called Sirens of the Deep, the new film is the second animated film in the franchise, after the success of The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. 

's DLC,, is an essential add-on for any fan of the base game. While the unpredictable spy-thriller story is among the best to be developed by CD Projekt RED, Phantom Liberty pays homage to a number of CD Projekt RED's previous games and most popular franchises — none more so than their critically and commercially revered series based on Andrzej Sapkowski's fantasy series of book, series. One particularly well-hidden reference, made in, to a notable character from franchise will undeniably be very bittersweet for long-time fans.

A new Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty Easter egg has been discovered holding some vague clues as to the fates of The Witcher 3 stars Geralt and Yennefer.

Cyberpunk 2077 recently saw the release of its highly anticipated expansion, Phantom Liberty, and a subsequent resurgence of players. CD Projekt Red also dropped the game’s massive 2.0 update, resulting in an even larger spike in members of Cyberpunk’s active fanbase. This isn’t the developer’s first behemoth though, as the team previously released other banger RPGs like The Witcher 3 and its predecessors.

A new The Witcher anime spin-off may be gearing up for a big announcement, according to a new report.

CD Projekt has announced a new The Witcher board game, subtitled Path of Destiny.

Hollywood has oftentimes tried to capture the magic of video games on film, and the most fun audiences have ever gotten out of it was seeing it fail stupendously pretty much every time. Still, you cannot say the same about game-to-tv-show adaptations, as those have already provided us with actual top-tier entertainment. Let’s take a look at the best of the bunch.

The Witcher's creator has disputed the view that the books are inspired by Slavic mythology.

When I read that The Witcher's executive producer, Tomek Baginski, had blamed Americans and young people for the show's «painful» simplifications of the source material, I simply shrugged.

You'd think there was some grand inspiration behind The Witcher book series - a fictional land rife with politics and undiscovered geographical points, or dragons and ogres for the hero to slay. After all, it's a popular series in its own right, plus it's got an acclaimed video game tie-in series and a Netflix adaptation that hasn't been canned yet.

The Witcher season 3 may have just come to an end on Netflix, but it’s elsewhere in the Witcher universe that the latest big news is coming from. On a new livestream Thursday, Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski said that he’s working on another book in the series, which would be the first one in a decade.

Good news for anyone who won't be watching the Hemsworth-helmed Witcher Netflix show: Author Andrzej Sapkowski has confirmed that he's working on a new book in the original series, and he thinks it'll be ready soon. No word yet on whether it will be suitable for Americans and young people.

Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski has confirmed he's writing another book in The Witcher series that will presumably continue the story of Geralt of Rivia.

The Witcher producer Tomasz Bagiński has reacted to the ongoing backlash that the Netflix series has faced for changing details from its source material. As many will be aware, the show is based on Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski’s series of books. While it broadly follows these, some elements have been changed, which has been a source of ire from some fans.

Tomek Baginski, executive producer on Netflix's The Witcher, has blamed American audiences and social media sites such as TikTok for the series' simplified take on the books' plots.

The Witcher season 3 volume 2 marks the end of the road for Henry Cavill’s Geralt ahead of his imminent replacement with Liam Hemsworth. Since the news was announced last year, the actor has never explicitly said why he was leaving the show. 

Geralt of Rivia, revered monster slayer and banquet-booer, is annoyed. He remains convinced the sorcerers and sorceresses at the ball are hellbent on not-so-shyly making fun of him, a mutant and a freak. Still, he is able to recognize the tension he senses comes from something more — something far more sinister.

The Witcher season 3 has reached an end after two parts and eight episodes, but that doesn’t mean our heroes’ journey across The Continent is over. After violent coups, dangerous plots, secret portals, and plenty of fights, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri are all separated, and who knows when they might get back together again.

Warning: This article contains spoilers from The Witcher season 3 volume 2 and contains mention of suicide.

The Witcher 3 Season 3 has been filled with ups and downs. While Henry Cavill's Geralt of Rivia is as brilliant (and brooding) as ever, it is also the last time he dons the mantle of the monster slayer, and fans have been left disappointed. Going ahead, Liam Hemsworth will be replacing Henry Cavill in the fourth season, although the reason for Cavill's exit remains unclear. According to a popular Witcher news website Redanian Intelligence, the third season of The Witcher has seen a 30 percent drop in viewership. While this may be due to Henry Cavill leaving, it could also potentially be because Netflix has only released the first half of Season 3 yet. People who tend to binge-watch shows might have been holding out for the full season to come out.
