Sapkowski will have an active role in the development of the series as a creative consultant. He is not only excited to have his vision of The Witcher universe expand and come to life outside of CD Projekt Red’s video game franchise, but also “thrilled” that Netflix and Platige Image are working to stay faithful to his source material.
Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko will be executive producers on the series. Baginski is a Polish illustrator, animator, and director who has worked on and directed cinematics for all three Witcher games; he is also set to direct at least one episode of the show per season. Jarek Sawko is a BAFTA award-winning producer and visual effects artist.
Speaking of The Witcher, Baginski and Sawko said that The Witcher series is one about everyday heroes and how their actions translate to the everyman.
Currently, there is no release date for The Witcher television series, and it is unknown if it will be entirely CG or if it will be a mixture of CG and live action.
