Excited for The Witcher to finally wrap up? No, I'm not talking about that Witcher 3 playthrough you abandoned after 70 hours of wandering around, I'm talking about the Netflix show probably best known for its prominent recast of Geralt and for being very different from the books and games. Well, it's been delayed (via What's on Netflix ).
Even though it reportedly wrapped filming late last year, the story from What's on Netflix says that "a little digging" confirms "that the release has indeed shifted to next year, though Netflix has neither confirmed this publicly nor is thought to have locked in a specific 2027 release window just yet."
The article speculates that this is to brush up the VFX before release and move the show's finale away from other big releases, but there's no explicit confirmation as to why this delay has happened. It's a bummer if you've been chomping at the bit to see Liam Hemsworth totally witch all over the place, but since no major reshoots or further recasts have been confirmed, it's at least less grief than the God of War series is experiencing right now .
In the meantime, there are famously a lot of Witcher things you probably have to catch up on. Check out, for instance, our guide to reading the acclaimed novels by Andrzej Sapkowski and the associated comics—I have admittedly only read The Last Wish, but I recommend it for the short story where a goat man throws metal balls at Geralt while heckling him.
There's also, as you may have heard, a videogame series. I assume if you've gotten this far into this article you already like those games (at least more than Sapkowski does ), so I'll recommend the Witcher let's play series by original lead story designer Artur Ganszyniec. Squint really hard, and mid-aughts CG Geralt probably looks a bit like Liam Hemsworth.
