A star of The Witcher has opened up about whether the show will be as big as Game of Thrones.
With a lot of new shows vying for a fanbase to rival that of the recently ended HBO series, the forthcoming Netflix adaptation of The Witcher is certainly one of the top contenders.
Based on the popular fantasy saga written by Andrzej Sapkowski and boasting a cast that includes Henry Cavill, the series is expected to hit screens later this year.
And, speaking recently, Yennefer actress Anya Chalotra discussed the “very scary” and totally possible prospect of the show being as big as GoT.
