The Witcher just hit Netflix and it is already Netflix’s highest-rated original series on IMDB. The show is based on the books of the same name. Beating shows like Stranger Things, Peaky Blinders, Black Mirror, The Crown, Ozark and Haunting of Hill House, The Witcher is on a roll.
Neflix’s new hit release, The Witcher, has only been available on the streaming service for a matter of days. Already the fantasy thriller has had an astonishing rise to the top and has become one of Netflix’s highest rating original series on Internet Movie Database (IMDb), just days after its December 20 release.
The show has already received a green light for the next season, with Henry Cavill stealing hearts as the lead. The books were written by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski and were previously adapted into a Polish TV series called The Hexer in 2002. The story is set in a medieval world on a landmass known as the Continent; the Geralt of Rivia is a solitary monster hunter.
While shows including The Crown and The Haunting of Hill House bring up the rear with 8.7 ratings. Forbes claims that The Witcher’s early high rankings may fall over time, but not by much, cementing itself as a huge success for the channel.
