The Witcher showrunner says fans of the games will love the show

As we've already covered, The Witcher on Netflix is an adaptation of the book series, and not the game series. Obviously the games wouldn't exist without the books, so there's going to be a lot of overlap between the two. Still, should fans of the games look forward to what happens with the Netflix series? According to a Comicbook.com interview with showrunner Lauren Hissrich, those who enjoyed the games should feel right at home.

“You know, I've played the games, but really our stories are coming from the book, and what's cool to follow up to your follow up, is that I think there's a lot of concern, will the television show be for game fans as well? I absolutely think so. If you think about how adaptations work, the games are adaptations of the same source material that we're using. If you come to the games and love the characters and love the kinds of stories that you find there, I think you're going to love the show too.”
