The Witcher star Henry Cavill
(Justice League, Mission: Impossible - Fallout) has shared a new official still from the show to Instagram, featuring another glimpse of his character Geralt of Rivia along with our first look at Roach the horse.
Cavill included the caption: "The road to San Diego is long. The good news is, on her worst day, Roach beats the company of Men, Elves, Gnomes and even Dwarves. She's not always easy, but she knows more than most and cares just enough to be the only kind of company worth enjoying."
Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski's series of fantasy novels - which have since spawned a hugely popular video game franchise - focus on monster hunters known as Witchers who develop supernatural abilities at a young age. The main character is Geralt of Rivia (Cavill), a solitary Witcher who struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.
The 8-episode first season will be written by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich (
Daredevil, The Defenders, Umbrella Academy), who will also serve as executive producer and showrunner. Alik Sakharov (
House of Cards, Game of Thrones) will helm a total of four episodes, while Alex Garcia Lopez
(Luke Cage, Fear The Walking Dead) and Charlotte Brändström (
Outlander, Counterpart) will direct two installments each.
