The Witcher's staff teases old and new monsters for the show

The Witcher hits Netflix in just over a week, and while hype is high, there's still so much we don't know. Many fans want to get a better look at the many monsters the series is known for, and in an interview with showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich, we find out that there will be plenty of scary creatures to look forward to. That includes some new ones as well.

"It's funny, 'cause monsters are huge in The Witcher, but it's actually one of the things that we're trying to hold out of the teasers and trailers as much as possible, because we think there's a great element of surprise for existing fans who don't know what stories we're playing with and what monsters we're playing with. And also, there's a couple of new monsters that we've come up with based on a lot of sort of Polish folklore."

Executive producer Tomek Bagiński followed up on that statement by saying, "I'm really hoping that people will be very surprised with some of our choices."
