The Witcher

In the new fantasy series 'The Witcher,' our protagonist Geralt of Rivia, played by Henry Cavill, is no ordinary man. He is a Witcher, a genetically modified human, who has been enhanced to hunt and kill monsters. Geralt roams the continent, taking on contracts to slay various creatures, all while trying to find his place in a world that fears and distrusts him.

However, her journey is not without its challenges, as she must confront her own demons and make difficult choices along the way.
