Happy Halloween everybody. As I recover from taking my little girl out trick or treating tonight, I thought I’d share the all new and epic trailer for Netflix’s new adaptation of The Witcher which stars Man Of Steel’s Henry Cavill in the lead role of monster hunter Geralt of Rivia. The new series based on the novels of Andrzej Sapkowski also has a December release date for the streaming service. Check out the new footage below!

Official Synopsis: Based on the best-selling fantasy series, The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family. Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.

Also starring in the series are Jodhi May (GAME OF THRONES) as Calanthe, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson (FORTITUDE) as Eist, Adam Levy (SNATCH, KNIGHTFALL) as Mousesack, Myanna Burning (RIPPER STREET) as Tissaia, Mimi Ndiweni (BLACK EARTH RISING) as Fringilla, Therica Wilson-Read (PROFILE) as Sabrina, and Emma Appleton (THE END OF THE F-ING WORLD) as Renfri, Eamon Farren (TWIN PEAKS) as Cahir, Joey Batey (KNIGHTFALL) as Jaskier, Lars Mikkelsen (SHERLOCK, HOUSE OF CARDS) as Stregobor, Royce Pierreson (WANDERLUST) as Istredd, Maciej Musia (1983) as Sir Lazlo, Wilson Radjou-Pujalte (DICKESIAN) as Dara, and Anna Shaffer (HARRY POTTER) as Triss.

The Witcher hits Netflix on December 20th because nothing says Merry Christmas like Henry Cavill wielding a big sword and slaying some beasts. Enjoy!
