The Witcher Netflix series and Game of Thrones, at face value, have quite a lot in common. Speaking to GamesRadar+, The Witcher showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich reveals how she welcomes the comparison – and how her Netflix series sets itself apart. But The Witcher and Game of Thrones are not two of sides of the same Witcher-tossed coin.

Looking forward to The Witcher season 2, of course. With the Netflix series already confirmed to return, we spoke to showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich about her plans for season 2 – including how she and her creative team plan to build on the foundations of the first eight episodes. “What’s great about season two, I can tell you, is that, in what we’ve written, the story becomes much more focused.
