Since its release in December of 2019, Netflix's The Witcher has received widespread praise among fans of the Witcher franchise. Following the increase in popularity, series showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich has begun to discuss the future of the series and how many seasons the show will have.

The Witcher is a Netflix Original series that premiered on December 20th, 2019 and was met with a lot of positive reception from fans and critics alike. Due to its similarities to the video game adaptations, the series brought in a lot of immediate attention from the gaming community. The first season ran for a mere eight episodes, though, and ever since its release, fans have been dying to know what's next for the series.

When asked about how long the series might last, Lauren Hissrich touched upon a variety of factors that will dictate the longevity of the series. This includes the characters introduced in Season 1, the large amount of narrative content spread across the original novel series, and also the characters that have yet to be introduced, such as Vesemir.

In terms of the actual number of seasons the show will have, Hissrich was quite unclear. Again, given the amount of content The Witcher has to offer, it's hard to predict how long the series will last. Hissrich once mentioned that the series will last seven seasons, but she also has said that she and the other writers have enough content to last for twenty seasons.

The series has already been renewed for a second season, but because of how early everything is, it's hard to predict the show's continued longevity. Given the overwhelmingly positive response from the fans, there is certainly a demand for it. The level of love the series has gotten from the fans of the video game series is rather surprising given the number of changes made, such as Dandelion's name being changed.

Though, not all of the changes made in the Netflix series have been for the better. The changes that Hissrich and the other writers made to fan-favorite character Triss Merigold were not received particularly well by the audience. Having said all this, with one season already released and another season on the way, there is plenty of room for Hissrich to expand upon what has already been established.
