Geralt of Rivia Appearances
Andrzej Sapkowski's polish language short stories first introduced the character in 1986, published in the magazine Fantastyka. He would go on to publish several novel series in the same world with the same character.
A low budget feature film & TV series, both callled 'Hexer", were produced in Poland in 2000 & 2001, both directed by Marek Brodzki and starring Michal Zebrowski.
After several aborted attempts to translate the series into a video game format, the series finally came to PC's in 2007 by way of Polish video game developer CD Projekt RED, who first coined the phrase The Witcher, a name retroactively applied to all the content of the series as it was translated to English. He is voiced in the English translation by Doug Cockle.
The Netflix series the Witcher debuted in 2019, starring Superman himself and apparent Witcher superfan, Henry Cavill. Based more on the books than on the super-popular video games, Andrzej Sapkowski himself has said that he loves Cavill's take on the character. So do we, Andrzej, so do we.
