Octopus Overlords

But if the show ever moves past the story laid out in the books like “Game of Thrones” did, Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich says fans should definitely not expect it to mine the games for material.

“Extreme long vision is no, we will not start adapting the games,” Hissrich told TheWrap during a press round table at San Diego Comic-Con 2019. “I can only attack one season at a time, I’m so excited for this one, the rest kind of makes my mind explode right now. If someone says ‘what happens in Season 7,’ sure I have thoughts. Fingers crossed, we get there.”

The games, in case you’re not familiar, are a trilogy of stories that serves as a sequel to the books, picking up where they end and continuing the story of Geralt of Rivia, a famed monster hunter who keeps getting caught up in lots of major world events.

Sis: Did you see the trailer for The Witcher?

Me: I did! Looks cool. I hear it's based on the books.

Sis: Oh, yeah. I read the books.

Me: The trailer really seems to reference the games in cool ways.

Sis: Um ... there are games?

Talking to SFX magazine for issue 320 (via PCGamesN), Hissrich said “I’ve [mapped out stories] for seven seasons. Right now it’s just about, ‘how do you set up stories that really capture audiences for years at a time?'”

“The worst thing we could do is put all of our energies just into season one, and not be thinking about where these characters can grow to,” she added.

A full month out from the debut of the highly-anticipated TV series adaptation of acclaimed fantasy novel series “The Witcher” and Netflix has officially greenlit the series for a second season.

Like the first it will run for eight episodes and is set to begin production in London early 2020 with plans for a Fall 2021 premiere on the streaming service. Schmidt Hissrich will again serve as executive producer and showrunner.

Did someone, somewhere, summon a djinn to then wish for all 8 chapter titles? Here you go. Now does anyone know a doctor to check Jaskier's vitals?
