I’m at home being a wife and mom for a minute, and got the joy of seeing my five year old read his story about Budapest to his class. For those that don’t speak kindergartner: “We were on the train. We were at Budapest. We were at our apartment. We were playing with a train and a bus. We went out to walk around. We saw a band. We saw the Witcher. In the morning, we went back to LA.” ♥️⚔️🐺

In the meantime, the buzz for the show continues... This latest post by The Observer:

Stranger Things isn’t going to run forever, and with Netflix increasingly cancelling shows that don’t pop after a few seasons, they’ll soon need a new flagship series. While the market-leading streamer has several high-profile projects in the pipeline, one stands above the rest in terms of scope and ambition.

The Witcher, starring Henry Cavill, is based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s beloved fantasy novels and short stories, which have already inspired a line of incredibly popular video games. The eight-episode series will follow Geralt of Rivia (Cavill), who is “a solitary monster hunter” caught in a “[struggle] to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.”

I kinda love this. ♥️⚔️🐺https://t.co/DIdQaEBGz6
