The Witcher borrows heavily from Polish and Slavic folktales/mythology. It holds a special cultural significance for the people of Eastern Europe. The Witcher is part of a rich literary history that, for us, is as important as J.R.R. Tolkien is for The West. Modern Western cinema suffers from a dearth of accurate representation for the people of Slavic and Eastern European cultures. As Warner Brothers decided to cast only British actors for the Harry Potter series, we ask Netflix to make it a priority to cast actors of Polish and Eastern European descent to play the characters in the new Netflix adaptation of The Witcher.
