About the series

Destiny is a beast.

What it’s about

Geralt of Rivia is a mutated monster-hunter for hire, traveling the Continent and taking contracts to kill dangerous creatures. His path crosses with Yennefer, a young woman with magical abilities who is sold by her father to a sorceress for training. Meanwhile, Ciri, the young heir to the kingdom of Cintra, is forced to flee when the Nilfgaardian Empire invades her homeland. The fates of these three become intertwined as war and dark forces spread across the land.

What hooks you

The production features elaborate weapon design, with 12 original designs and 150 unique items created just for elven extras. The slogan states: "The worst monsters are the ones we create."

Trivia

All facts 10
  1. For one of the scenes in the 7th episode of season 2, the team used 500 live and 2,000 artificial cockroaches. Four specialists monitored the real insects, recounting the cockroaches twice a day.
  2. When Henry Cavill first heard about the future filming of the series, he began pestering his agents to arrange a meeting for him with Netflix officials. Eventually the meeting was arranged, but the series creator Lauren Schmidt Hissrich initially rejected Cavill. She subsequently auditioned 207 actors for the role of Geralt, but none were suitable. As she wrote the script, she kept hearing Cavill's voice delivering Geralt's lines. In the end, she arranged another meeting with the actor and immediately realized she had found what she was looking for.
  3. Preparing for the role of Geralt, Henry Cavill worked extensively with a sword and built muscle mass.
  4. According to producer and showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Henry Cavill got into the role so well, so to speak, that he practically didn't need to read the lines written for his character.
  5. Henry Cavill performed all his own stunts.
  6. In the winter of 2020, while filming the second season of the series, Henry Cavill tore his hamstring while running. Despite the acute pain, the actor did not break the filming schedule. He treated the injury early in the morning so that he would already be on set by 7:00.
