Meet the Witchers of The Witcher Universe

The Monster Hunters of The Witcher Universe

‘The Witcher’ introduces viewers to Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher, who uses his extraordinary abilities to protect humanity from dangerous creatures. Witchers are genetically modified to be faster, stronger, and immune to disease, making them perfect for hunting down horrifying monsters.

As Geralt faces both human and monstrous foes, he struggles with his destiny, personal beliefs, and relationships. ‘The Witcher’ is a world full of magic, politics, and legendary monsters, all seen through the eyes of a morally complex hero.
