Small Details You Missed In The Witcher

The first season of Netflix's long-awaited adaptation of The Witcher books remains remarkably faithful to the spirit of the novels. In fact, it's packed with small details that only those well-versed in the ways of the Continent will notice.

The Witcher isn't the first live-action adaptation of the beloved novels. In 2002, actor Michal Zebrowski played Geralt in the Polish TV series The Hexer, which was also edited into a critically panned feature film. Like Netflix's The Witcher, The Hexer adapted stories from the first two Witcher books, The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, while mixing in some original elements.

Zebrowski doesn't cameo in The Witcher, but that hasn't stopped him from playing Geralt again…sort of. While it's still Henry Cavill's handsome mug that they'll see on-screen, Polish fans should find Geralt's voice very familiar. Zebrowski is providing Geralt's dialogue in The Witcher's Polish-language dub, reprising the role he played almost 20 years ago.

It's not a detail that most English-speaking viewers will notice, but it's a nice treat for the Polish fans in the audience. The Witcher isn't the only Geralt-adjacent project Zebrowski has in the pipeline, either. The actor will also dub Keanu Reeves' character in the upcoming video game Cyberpunk 2077, which is made by CD Projekt Red, the company behind the Witcher video games.

The symbols that appear at the beginning of every episode of The Witcher are full of spoilers, but you're only going to notice if you really know your stuff. The title of each episode is always the same, but the logo behind it changes, offering hints as to what's about to unfold.

For example, the first episode, "The End's Beginning," features the image of a solar eclipse. If you've read the short story "Lesser Evil," you know that the princess Renfri was born under a so-called "black sun," leading a wizard to assume that she was cursed. Sure enough, "The End's Beginning" tells Renfri's story all the way to its brutal, bloody ending. Keep watching the video to see all the small details you missed in The Witcher!
