Netflix has dropped the first teaser trailer for their much-anticipated adaptation of ‘The Witcher‘ starring Henry Cavill.
Based on the best-selling fantasy series of books, The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family, set in a world where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified. Geralt of Rivia (Cavill), a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.
The show also stars Anya Cholatra (‘The ABC Murders’, ‘Wanderlust’) as the aforementioned powerful sorceress, Yennefer, and Freya Allan (‘The War of the Worlds’, ‘Into The Badlands’) as Ciri, the young princess.
