“I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories, staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years writing,” said Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of the books, in an official statement. “I’m excited about our efforts together, as well as the team assembled to shepherd these characters to life.”
