It should be noted that there is no official confirmation yet on it, however, the screenwriter of the series Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, planned the story that spans six seasons. "The worst thing we could do is put all our energy into the first season and not think about where these characters can grow."

He continued, “So much so that, it is clear that Cavill would not be the only protagonist, but, if extended, The Witcher I would give more relevance to each member of the cast.”

The drama created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich is based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The Witcher set on a fictional, medieval-inspired landmass known as "the Continent", The Witcher explores the legend of Geralt of Rivia and princess Ciri, who are linked to each other by destiny.
