The Witcher stars Henry “Superman” Cavill as the titular character. Here’s how Netflix describes it:
"Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together."

For its third season, Clair Foy — who played Queen Elizabeth II — is being replaced by Olivia Colman.
