Anticipation For The Witcher

Except Cavill and MyAnna Buring, I've never seen anything with those actors, but I hope they'll be good. I'm surprised they cast Fringilla so early, I wonder if they're going to give her some backstory that wasn't present in the books. Either way I'm happy, I always liked Fringilla, and she only appears in the later books, so I'm glad we get more of her.

Something just came to mind. This show is only being made due to the games, W3 especially. But the showrunner has said that the series won't be influenced by the games. Even if the timeline reaches the game era, they'll probably do something different. Why? Why not capitalise on the the success of the games, unless CDPR wanted too much for their part of the rights. If it was me, I would borrow from the games for the look of the show, at the very least.

We don't really know what was their deal with Sapkowski who's opinions on the games are well known. He always said the games are not canon and IIRC he said he may write one day his own continuation. It's very likely that Netflix bought the rights not only to existing books , but also those that could potentially be written one day. Also I'm not really into law, but I'm not sure if CDPR can sold their rights to  The Witcher to anyone? Geralt is still Sapowski's character after all.

Aside from this, I'm actually glad that showrunner decided to do their own thing and interpret the books in their own way, without games influencing it. The games and books will always be there and I'm open to some new things. The most important for me is faithfull adaptation of the themes of the Witcher and relationships between characters.
