Henry Cavill will portray Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter (also known as a Witcher) who roams the volatile and wicked world of the Northern Kingdoms in the hope of finding his destiny. The series will adapt The Witcher Saga, which is a series of five novels and two sets of short stories that serve as a prelude to the main narrative.

While fans can barely contain their anticipation for the new live-action adaptation, a few lucky people have managed to preview the first episode and it would appear that the Netflix series is going to be another hit. Some have praised the powerfully choreographed action sequences, while others have assured fans that Lauren Schmidt Hissrich (the showrunner) seems to know what she’s doing.

Netflix has already renewed the series for a second season and they seem to be sure about their new production, but for now, we’ll only have to wait and see if The Witcher can repeat the success streak of other hit shows from the streaming juggernaut when it debuts on December 20th.
