Variety is reporting that Netflix will launch the highly anticipated Witcher series in their fourth quarter which represents October to December.
Netflix CCO Ted Sarandos had the the following to say:
“Well, definitely in the third quarter, we’ve got new episodes and new seasons of some of our most loved and most watched shows on Netflix, ‘Stranger Things,’ ‘Casa de Papel,’ ‘Orange Is the New Black,’ ’13 Reasons Why,’ ‘Elite,’ which was a big hit for us right out of Spain, a new season from Ryan Murphy of ‘The Politician,’ a brand new show on Netflix that we think our audiences are going to love,” he said. “And then you start seeing later in the fourth quarter some of our bigger film investments coming through like ‘Irishman,’ like ‘6 Underground’ and also a big new original series that we’re currently shooting in Hungary called ‘The Witcher,’ that is an enormous European IP, very popular game and Book IP, that we think is going to make a really fun global series.”
Our Take
To say we are excited for this would be a gross understatement. With a stellar writing team and the backing of Netflix, we’re expecting big things. Don’t let us down Netflix!
