Netflix series 'The Witcher' confirms second season. Hollywood actor Henry Cavill plays the role of 'The Witcher'. The controversial Polish-American adaptation was one of Netflix's highest rating original series. Many compare it to 'Game of Thrones'. Perhaps that's why it has been so successful.
- The books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski were poorly adapted twice before in Poland as a fantasy film and a TV series. The plot can be quite confusing because of its non-linear timeline. It wasn't until the role-playing video game came out in 2007 that 'The Witcher' began to gather fans.
- The video game's fan based might have helped the series success on Netflix.
