To say that The Witcher TV show on Netflix has been a staggering success might be an understatement. Netflix has already confirmed that The Witcher was the platform’s second-most popular original TV show of 2019. That’s despite the fact that The Witcher was available for just 10 days before the list was released. And as the saying goes, high waters raise all boats. There’s now ample evidence that The Witcher Netflix show is leading to a huge amount of excitement for the original books, as well.
Being surprised by how successful The Witcher Netflix series has been is entirely understandable, of course. After all, just look at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s success following the show’s launch. The Witcher 3 is being played by more players right now on Steam than at launch. It’s an unprecedented level of success, especially given The Witcher 3 was a huge success at launch, too. That The Witcher books may be seeing a similar level of success only seems right.
The Witcher TV show is currently available to watch exclusively on Netflix.
