The first pitch for The Witcher Netflix series involved Ciri as the main "focal" character
Ciri was originalꦫly set to narrate the events of The Witcher

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Witcher Netflix series showrunner has revealed her original pitch for the upcoming season. In w𝔉hat would have been a dramatic retooling of the source material, Lauren S. Hissrich planned to have Ciri, not Geralt, as the main “focal” 🐻character, with the character also acting as narrator.
“When I was first pitching to Netflix, I pitched them a completely different version of the story which I’ve actually never talked about before,” Hissrich reveals in a recent Netfli�𓂃�x featurette on The Witcher.
“I pitched them a version of the story which actuall😼y started with the second-to-last book [in writer Andrzej Sapkowski’s series], which is Lady of the Lake. Ciri ends up sitting by a lake, meeting with a man, and sort of telling her story.” She added: “I started with that narrative structure, which is to have Ciri be our focal character and be kind of our narrator.”
But Hissrich soon found an issue with that style of setup: not enough Geralt. “The problem was… that I wasn’t getting enough of Geralt and his perspective, because it was all being told through Ciri,” Hissrich explains. “I went through several versions, and I literally had onܫe of those ‘aha!’ moments in the shower, jumped out of the shower and said to my husband ‘does this make sense? Can I tell all three of these stories at the same time and not have it be too confusing?’”
Now, we have the prospect of the three core characters (and stories) of Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer being presented at once 🅷– but it could have ended up very differently.
All eight episod꧅es of Witcher season one will be available on Netflix worldwide from Friday, December 20.
