Before the games, but after the books written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher was a movie, and a TV series.
The film was known as Wiedźmin in Poland, which translates into The Witcher in English, although the film was renamed The Hexer internationally.
As the story goes, the film was released in 2001 and was panned by critics. The biggest problem being the movie wasn’t actually a movie, it was a 13 episode TV series that had been squished into a two-hour feature film, which in turn made it into a nonsensical mishmash.
Not one to be defeated, director Marek Brodzki (who was assistant director on Schindler’s List) released The Hexer TV series one year later, in 2002. The general consensus was while the TV show was vastly more coherent than the film version, the movie’s reputation left a sour taste in the mouth of the viewer, so after a 13 episode run – the last episode of which was titled ‘Ciri’ – the show came to a close.
