I'm not optimistic about the Witcher writing staff.
I mumbled, "oh shit," aloud upon seeing that picture and reading the caption. I agree, I will be SHOCKED if a group like that captures any of the dreariness, brutal violence, and moral ambiguities of The Witcher. We can expect a ton of badass warrior babes fucking up monsters and kicking the shit out of soldiers and brigands and barbarians.
On second thought, they'll do fine with the violence. But it will be violence glorified as it's inflicted on men of all kinds. An awesome scene of a monster ripping apart a helpless, starving, destitute villager, Geralt performing a masterful esquive followed by a decapitation on an otherwise innocent and completely outmatched poor sap forced into fighting someone else's battles...or anything else.
The first episode will have Geralt physically bested in some way by a woman. He'll get knocked on his ass, outshot with a bow, proved wrong in the training yard in Kaer Morhen... something. This is extremely likely. However, I'm willing to bet he'll be intellectually neutered by Yenn or Triss within the 10 minutes of their sharing a scene. Guaranteed.
Our only hope is that Sapkowski is going to have direct involvement.
