Netflix?s adaption of The Witcher books did not initially have Geralt of Rivia front and center. Instead, Ciri served as the television series? lead protagonist in its original pitch. Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich explained that plans changed in this regard once she realized Geralt wasn?t receiving enough of the show?s focus.
During an interview with Netflix UK and Ireland, Hissrich briefly outlined the story of her original The Witcher pitch. This ?completely different version? started with the franchise?s second to last novel, The Lady of the Lake. In it, Ciri, while sitting at a lake, recounts her story to Sir Galahad. (Yes, King Arthur?s Sir Galahad.) According to Hissrich, this idea was to inform the framing of the TV show?s narrative.
