Though Geralt attempts to keep his focus on killing monsters for coin alongside his trusted bard Jaskier (Joey Batey), the world of The Witcher is full of characters trying to sway him to their cause. All three become swept up in politics and war as the kingdom of Nilfgaard advances across the land, aiming to conquer the entire Continent. Set in a fantasy world called the Continent, season 1 of The Witcher divides its focus between Geralt, a sorceress called Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra), and Ciri (Freya Allan), a young princess with an important destiny. Despite drawing a mixed critical consensus in the weeks following its initial release, The Witcher's first season received a minimum of 76 million views in its first month alone, highlighting The Witcher franchise's inherent popularity. Starring Henry Cavill in the lead role as Geralt of Rivia, a monster slayer for hire, The Witcher is based on a series of books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski and was adapted for TV by Netflix's Lauren S.
