‘The Witcher’ became one of the favorite series of many on Netflix, and a fictional world as rough as where Geralt of Rivia lives, must work by its own rules, which is why it has been revealed what the so called famous “Witcher Code” means that Geralt uses so much throughout his different adaptations.
The Witcher’ was created by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski in the early 1990s, and from there it became a series with a total of eight books. But outside the publishing world, this saga is best known for its video game adaptations, and in 2019 it was globally known as it made the leap to the world of series thanks to Netflix .
This series was one of Netflix’s most anticipated releases last year, being the best premiere the streaming platform has had in years. For those not yet familiar with the series, its story follows Geralt of Rivia, played by Henry Cavill, an exceptional monster hunter known as Witcher who because of fate joins the path of Yennefer (Anya Chalota), a powerful sorceress; and Princess Ciri (Freya Allan). Their stories are told separately and set at different points in time, but their paths come together towards the end of the season.
Throughout its different adaptations Geralt has used many times a code that prevents him from interfering or doing some labors, but it has finally been revealed what the famous ‘Witcher Code’ means. It is in the books, that Geralt explains there is no such code, and that he simply uses it when he does not want to do something, since people respect a “code” more than a simple “no” .
As seen in the Netflix series, everyone admires Geralt’s work and classifies him as legendary, thanks to the songs that Jaskier composes, he becomes very popular and respected by everyone, and that’s largely in part due to his invented “Witcher Code” .
The second season of ‘ The Witcher’ has no release date, and for now its filming schedule has been suspended until further notice, because of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
