Congratulations to Henry and the rest of the cast and crew. We're ready for Season 2!

I LOVING #TheWitcher dialogue this morning. As a treat for all the respectful debate, here is the original final scene of Ep 108, "Much More." This is what was shot. It was edited down later, because -- as pointed out -- didn't feel earned after we'd cut the Brokilon meeting. pic.twitter.com/wyBEFV1F9b

One of my favourite pictures with @kissjulcs and this guy photobombing us. 🤣 But seriously speaking it has been a pleasure and honor working with @henrycavill as his #stuntdouble on #Netflix s new series #TheWitcher. He is a gentleman and a down to earth person in real life and respect to him for doing every single one of his fight scenes. Also I'd like to thank Mark Hanson stunt coordinator, @vladimirfurdikofficial aka The Night King and @black_rats__official aka Ratsa for the memorable rehearsals and fight choreos also I'd like to thank @francois_blackratstunts for keeping me safe on the wires and also the 40+ Hungarian stunt team. Filmmaking is truly about teamwork. 7+ months, almost 300 ratchets. What a journey. See you guys on the next one 😇 #witcher

Henry Cavill’s sword skills are so technically brilliant we could shoot first fight section in one shot. NO stunt doubles! We originated at 96fps to slow key moments within the sequence. Brilliant choreography #WolfgangStegemann #WadeEastwood @HenryCavill_HCF @witchernetflxtv https://t.co/XiXntqaybT

It's here. #TheWitcher

Here we go!

The Witcher is now streaming on Netflix. Check it out and let us know what you think.

The day has come! Witcher Family, it's time to cheer.
These "episodes" you speak of are finally here. #TheWitcher is now streaming on @netflix. pic.twitter.com/koo3Zl0vKr

— The Witcher (@witchernetflix) December 20, 2019

So far, Henry is getting some big props for his portrayal as Geralt of Rivia.

#TheWitcher is SO DAMN SOLID so far!! Feels like such a love letter to the source material and the fans. And Henry Cavell is CRUSHING it as Geralt. His sword play is amazing to watch!

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. So happy! pic.twitter.com/b5up4PjhC7

— Skill Up (@SkillUpYT) December 20, 2019

It’s official, Henry Cavill is an awesome Geralt. #TheWitcher #TheWitcherNetflix

Bruh I just finished the first episode of #TheWitcher and my god....they did everything right. There’s a little bit from the books, a little from the games....it’s perfect and Henry Cavill kills it as Geralt!! Well done so far. I’m stoked to watch the rest. I love this series and

— Tanner (@TannersauresRex) December 20, 2019

@witchernetflix is EVERYTHING! Just finished the first episode and I’M IN AWE! #HenryCavill IS Geralt of Rivia! Wow! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #TheWitcher

— Antonio Kleber Gomes (@antoniokgomes) December 20, 2019

Just watched the first two episodes. Henry Cavill IS Geralt. I haven't read the books but I've played the video games and he really nailed the character. I'm enjoying it so far. Well done. 👍🏻👍🏻

— vigilo confido (@VConfido) December 20, 2019

If, like me, you’re a fan of the books or the games, #TheWitcher on #Netflix is going to make you very happy indeed. And #HenryCavill is PERFECT as the titular character. pic.twitter.com/jHfp1zz3oK

— Kealan Patrick Burke (@KealanBurke) December 20, 2019

I'm two episodes into #TheWitcherNetflix and it's going to be a massive hit. Between the fight choreography, staying close to the source material, and Henry Cavill's outstanding performance as Geralt, this show is going to make up for all the emotional distress GoT caused us.

— Josh Beard (@JoshBeardRadio) December 20, 2019

I'm on ep 3 of #TheWitcherNetflix and so far so good. Henry Cavill is pitch perfect as Geralt! I'm so glad they maintained the character's dry wit and snarky attitude, rather than turning him into a gruffly dull fantasy archetype.

Now back to binging.

— Jon 💤 (@blvze97) December 20, 2019

Henry Cavill plays an excellent Geralt

— Brennon Hook (@BrenCasts) December 20, 2019

I gotta say, #TheWitcherNetflix does Lightsaber-ish combat better than Star Wars. Now I want Henry Cavill to play a brooding Jedi who has to solve a gruesome murder in a film noire-ish "who dun it?" story.

— Yung "💛" Patrick (@YungPatrickOne) December 20, 2019

I can't get over how GOOD #TheWitcherNetflix is!!! The fight scene at the end of the first episode is possible my favorite live action fight scene of anything. This show is incredible and everyone should see it! pic.twitter.com/cdKbXxTpqy

— Xade (@XadeChronos) December 20, 2019

Like a true ADULT, I just binged the full season of @witchernetflix, and am now 3 hours late for work with ZERO sleep.

10/10, would recommend; might do it after work too.#thewitcher pic.twitter.com/hrIqXzLkSY

— BeardedBrosefus (@BeardedBrosefus) December 20, 2019

I’m half through @witchernetflix and I’m really really enjoying it so far. If you’re a fan of the books, games, or both, give it a watch. So far it has really captured Geralt’s personality and mannerisms very well and I’m impressed by Cavill’s performance.

— Kenneth Campbell (@Space_Pandy) December 20, 2019

So im two episodes into @witchernetflix and my god is it good Henry Cavill is a brilliant Geralt.
The guy is a BOSS!🔥@NXOnNetflix #TheWitcherNetflix

— Keiron Gibbons (@KeironGibbons) December 20, 2019

Henry Cavill is just superb as Geralt in #TheWitcher

Really comes to show what happens when people work on their true passions - they become the best version of themselves.

— Sophie (@sophiekatsali) December 21, 2019

Watching "The Witcher." Henry Cavill is one beautiful man. In the opening scene, as he fights a monster, I saw in him, with the long blond hair, a hero like my Lestat. Every now and then that happens for me. It's fun. Henry Cavill is beautiful and marvelous.

— Anne Rice (@AnneRiceAuthor) December 21, 2019

Henry Cavill needs to get on Twitter to see how many people absolutely love him and he deserves all the respect in the world - class act off and on the set it seems #Respect #TheWitcher #HenryCavill #badass pic.twitter.com/OgIKN131gU

— Michael Matteo Rossi (@MichaelMatteoRo) December 21, 2019

Congratulations to Henry and the rest of the cast and crew. We think the show is definitely addictive and has all the elements of a successful fantasy series. Bring on Season 2!
