Fans planning on watching Netflix’s The Witcher starring Henry Cavill may want to avoid doing so in front of young children.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Henry Cavill is set to headline Netflix’s adaptation of the book series The Witcher. In recent years, the book series has gained more notoriety thanks to the popular trilogy of video games, including the massive hit The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The showrunner of the upcoming Netflix series recently revealed that after watching a cut of The Witcher, she can confirm that it is not a series for kids.
Lauren S. Hissrich will be the showrunner on the Henry Cavill-starring fantasy series and took to social media to give fans a progress report. Although young kids might recognize Henry Cavill as playing the most recent live-action version of Superman, The Witcher will apparently not be aiming for the same demographic. Check out the Tweet from Hissrich below.
Just watched a cut of #Witcher with Ben, and the verdict is in: this show is not for 5-year-olds. Like, really not. #TalesOfAWorkingMom

The Witcher currently does not have a release date but production is underway on the epic fantasy series. DC fans are still eagerly awaiting to see if Henry Cavill will return to the big screen as Clark Kent, aka Superman, following his appearance in 2017’s Justice League. In the meantime, those fans will be able to see the actor fight enemies in a very different kind of literary adaptation when The Witcher finally debuts on Netflix.

The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.
