The Witcher Season 1 Episodes

The first installment of The Witcher adaptation will come with a total of eight episodes. Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich confirmed the same via a tweet on the official Twitter handle. However, Hissrich mentioned that eight episodes won’t be enough.

According to her, the smaller season allowed them to produce tight and action-packed episodes that were free of lagging story moments. Besides this, she also said that smaller season doesn’t mean the lack of faith in the series or any other financial concerns.

Each of the eight episodes of the first season will be an hour long. However, there can be a little variation in each episode’s runtime.
