The Witcher Teaser: Henry Cavill’s Fantasy Series Will Fill Up the Void Left by Game of Thrones (Watch Video)

With the epic and controversial conclusion of HBO's Game of Thrones, there is a void for a kickass fantasy series. Netflix's next offering, The Witcher, seems to be the answer to fill that void. The first stylish trailer of the series was dropped by the OTT platform at the San Diego Comic-Con 2019. The Witcher trailer is quite impressive and might just help Netflix get back its lost subscribers and also gain new owns. And, internet Gods know that the site could use some of that. As per reports, 130,000 users unsubscribed from Netflix in the United States from April through June. Also, Netflix will be rolling out cheaper mobile-only plans in India to attract more users.

Coming back to the first footage of The Witcher. It absolutely hits it out of the park with the main character, played by Henry Cavill, looking like he walked straight out of the books into the camera frame. The locations, action and the acting are all on epic-scale. There is a killer background score, which will be a fan favourite. What a teaser! Shah Rukh Khan’s Zombie Horror Series Betaal, Anushka Sharma’s Mai Included in Netflix India’s Five New Announced Projects.

The Witcher is based on the books Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, which also spawned multiple role-playing videos games over the years. The fandom for the character and the story is monumental out there. Netflix could not afford to miss even beat with so many people closely monitoring what will be served on the screen. The only significant change from the games, spotted in the trailer, could be the addition of people of colour. The source material originally consists of a primarily white cast. But we all can live with that little change.
