Geralt’s actor shows dedication to his role and wants to stay committed to the fantasy TV series.

Netflix found success in 2019 when the live-action adaptation of The Witcher was adored by fans far and wide. From readers to gamers to newcomers alike, The Witcher TV series has gained a huge fanbase and they’re all sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for season 2 (me included).

Now Henry Carvill, the actor for Geralt, has given hope he will get to stick around for a third season… and fourth, and fifth, and sixth.

Henry Carvill on The Witcher

The Witcher showrunner Lauren Hissrich said before the show had officially aired on Netflix that she had a seven-season plan for the show laid out in her head. The first season obviously was loved by all and with only a month away from the second season being released, Henry Carvill spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about how he feels with the potential to do seven seasons.

Carvill only had one reaction: “Absolutely. As long as we can keep telling great stories that honour [Witcher author Andrzej] Sapkowski’s work.”

The Witcher book series consists of six fantasy novels and 15 short stories written by the Polish author, so there is no worry the show will run out of content any time soon. There’s also The Witcher games that are the direct sequels to the books, so one assumes Lauren Hissrich might bring certain storylines over from those to include in the tv series.

Here is a list of The Witcher short stories that relate to the episodes in the first season:

1. The Lesser Evil

2. Edge of the World

3. The Witcher

4. A Question of Price

5. The Last Wish

6. Bounds of Reason

7. The Sword of Destiny

8. Something More/ Battle of Sodden

I for one cannot wait to see how season 2 goes and Hissrich gets to produce her seven-season plan.

The Witcher Season 2 debuts on Netflix on December 17 and it is believed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be receiving a next-gen upgrade sometime soon.

The first glimpse of the live-action Halo TV series has been shown.

Xbox celebrated their 20th anniversary through a celebratory livestream last night, offering the latest news and updates for what’s next in store for the gaming giants.

One thing Xbox offered its fans, in particular, was the first glimpse at the live-action Halo TV series that will be streaming on Paramount+ in 2022.

Halo TV Teaser Trailer

Teaser trailers are known for being short, but sweet, and the teaser trailer for Halo is no exception.

The 28-second clip opens with the camera panning up the back of an unclothed Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) covered in scars, then transitions to a glimpse of the Mjolnir Mark VI armour, with the shot first at waist length, followed by a close up of Master Chief’s service number, 117. We then see Master Chief putting on the final part of his armour (the helmet) and the camera then gives us our first glimpse of Master Chief completely. It’s then when we hear the first voice, belonging to Cortana (Jen Taylor), saying “Hello, Master Chief” and then it cuts to the Halo logo with The Halo Theme playing in the background.

For a teaser trailer, it uses enough references and nostalgia points to get fans excited for what is to come, and yet keeps the mystery of what the show is going to be about. Recently it was confirmed that the TV show would show a different side to Master Chief than Halo fans have ever seen before.

Kiki Wolfkill, the studio head of Halo Transmedia at 343 Industries, explained that the biggest challenge of adapting Halo into a TV show was bringing Mast Chief, an iconic character that has existed for 20 years, into a new medium. The team had the difficult task of unpacking the game’s usual design of being in the chief’s armour and decided to create something entirely different that gives the audience a brand new perspective of the Chief that you don’t experience in the franchise.

The Xbox character we know and love will be shown in a different light for fans to experience

One of the most highly anticipated game adaptations coming out next year is the TV show for Xbox’s classic series Halo. After 20 years of existence, the franchise created by Bungie is finally getting its official live-action adaptation and fans are keen (as well as hesitant) to see how one of the most beloved characters in gaming history, Master Chief, will be portrayed.

Kiki Wolfkill, the studio head of Halo Transmedia at 343 Industries, gave insight to IGN to what the fans can expect with the Master Chief’s portrayal and the answer is nothing anyone has ever seen before.

Master Chief in The Halo TV Series

The upcoming  Halo TV adaptation stars Emmy and Tony nominee Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, Earth’s most advanced warrior in the 26th century, who is the only hope of salvation from the Covenant, an unstoppable alliance of alien worlds committed to the destruction of humanity, and will be airing exclusively on Paramont+ early next year.

Wolfkill explained that the biggest challenge of adapting Halo into a TV show was bringing Mast Chief, an iconic character that has existed for 20 years, into a new medium. The team had the difficult task of unpacking the game’s usual design of being in the chief’s armour and decided to create something entirely different that gives the audience a brand new perspective of the Chief that you don’t experience in the franchise.

In a first-person shooter, there is only so much of a character journey because of that wanting to maintain some of that character for people to pour into him or her. So, TV gives us a long form ability to really focus on character and story in a way that’s harder to relay in a first-person game.” Kiki Wolfkill, GameStop.

Wolfkill goes onto explain that while fans can play the games and already have a sense of who Master Chief is, you can put that aside and enjoy this new experience as it takes you on a new journey, as well as see the character from the TV show adaptation without feeling like it is impeding on the character you have grown up loving.

The streaming giants are taking another delve into a live-action project- this time featuring PokeBalls

According to Variety, Netflix is taking on another live-action project which will be with our favourite companions, Pokemon.

The series is in early development and nothing can be said about the plot as of yet, however, it is said to be akin to the 2019 movie Detective Pikachu, which starred Ryan Reynolds and Justin Smith, based on the Detective Pikachu game.

Pokemon Live-Action Series: Yay or Nay?

Variety reported that Lucifer co-runner Joe Henderson has been hired as a writer and executive producer for the show. Henderson is currently working on series 6 of Lucifer after it got picked up by Netflix and is also currently developing an adaptation for his comic Shadecraft. 

This isn’t the first Pokemon show to make Netflix its home, as previous shows such as Pokemon: Indigo League and Pokemon: Journeys have streamed there amongst others.

It’s also not the first game adaptation or live-action project we will be waiting for either. Netflix has announced upcoming animated shows for Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell, Devil Far Cry, as well as upcoming live-action shows for Assassin’s Creed, along with live-action shows for anime and cartoon favourites Cowboy Bebop, Avatar: The Last Airbender and my most anticipated adaptation, One Piece. 

With all these different adaptation projects lined up, it’s hard not to be excited, yet also fearful of how they are going to pull these off. Netflix has experienced great success with series such as Castlevania and The Witcher, but not so much with their 2017 movie adaptation of Death Note. 

However, this could lead to something more special now there is potential for Netflix and The Pokemon Company to team up with the streaming company moving into the gaming industry.

Pokemon is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary which you can read more about in these blog posts.
