Is The Witcher worth watching?

Yes — The Witcher is worth watching, holding a 83% Critic Score and 81% Audience Score on Celluloid. Its 79% Celluloid Score averages five independent sources: critic percentage, audience percentage, Metascore (75), IMDb (7.9/10) and aggregated fan rating (79%).

Created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, The Witcher ran 4 seasons, 32 episodes on Netflix in English, from United States. The Witcher is still in production, so the story is not finished — new seasons may shift where it lands.

What is The Witcher about?

Geralt of Rivia, a mutated monster-hunter for hire, journeys toward his destiny in a turbulent world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.

Critics consensus: Lavish monster-hunting fantasy that made Henry Cavill’s Geralt a global Netflix tentpole — uneven seasons, unforgettable sword-and-sorcery scale. The cast is led by Liam Hemsworth, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan, Joey Batey, Eamon Farren, among others.

The Witcher is carried by Netflix, though rights are licensed by territory and change often. Check the Netflix hub for everything else on the same service, and the series page for the regions where Celluloid has confirmed availability.
