Casting Scripts For ‘The Witcher’ Netflix Series Leaked
It seems that some people just can’t wait these days. Apparently, late last week, a user on Reddit found casting scripts for the upcoming Netflix show based on CD Projekt Red’s fantasy RPG The Witcher. One scene in question depicts the witch Yennefer convincing series protagonist Geralt into going to a ball, and in the other scene, she interacts with a king begging her for a favor. In response to the leak, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich took to Twitter to allay fears from fans.
Remember when I said that casting sides would leak and not to worry because they are not real scenes or scenarios or even storylines from the show?
It happened. As we knew it would. Don’t worry. All is okay in the #Witcher world.

In fact, Hissrich continued on with the response to the leak from some fans, who were doing the fan thing of analyzing the dialogue and doing the typical sort of “but ‘X’ wouldn’t say that” deal.
It's fascinating to watch the PASSIONATE debate about Geralt's and Yen's thoughts/emotions/intentions on the casting sides. Everything from "this reads like canon" to "Geralt would NEVER say that word." I only hope #Witcher fans are as invested in the, you know, actual series.😊

The series based on The Witcher is set to hit Netflix with an initial eight-episode run in 2020.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
