Witcher fans, we are in luck. Also, please, Netflix, let this be awesome.
Variety reported that Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, co-executive producer on Marvel's The Defenders and Daredevil as well as Starz's Powers, is going to be the showrunner and executive producer on The Witcher series.
I am pretty stoked on the level of pedigree here; even though I didn't think that The Defenders was particularly amazing, it was still good television, and Daredevil is still the best that Marvel has done, television-wise. The only hiccup (in my humble, humble opinion) is that CD Projekt Red isn't going to have anything to do with it. That's not a terrible thing, per se, but it would be nice to at least have someone from the creative team helping to give advice and weigh in on the show.
No additional details are available at this time, but I'll keep you all in the loop when I hear more.
