The Witcher is an eight-episode Netflix series based upon Polish writer Andrzej Sapowski's novel series about Geralt of Rivia, to be portrayed by Henry, which is a superhuman warrior hunting down monsters for money better known as witcher.

“I think there are probably some similarities between myself and Geralt,” said Henry.

He added, “I definitely associate with him and that's just because I've been inside his head for eight books, and you do get a better relationship with these characters.”
