Lauren S. Hissrich has been leading The Witcher charge over at Netflix, including Geralt’s live-action tale, a prequel series, and the new animated spin-off centering around a younger Vesemir<\/a>. With Netflix’s The Witcher season 2 dropping later this year, it looks like she is about to become even busier than before because she has just signed a massive partnership deal with the streaming company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hissrich took to her social media to share the good news about the multi-year deal, saying,\u00a0\u201cI am so thrilled to have found my home at Netflix, and can\u2019t wait to continue what\u2019s been an incredibly fulfilling creative partnership. While my heart belongs to The Witcher\u00a0<\/em>franchise, I equally look forward to digging in on other exciting projects for their global audience in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t pretend to be cool about this. It\u2019s a career dream come true. https:\/\/t.co\/34q6mmsXW8<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) August 19, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She won’t\u00a0just\u00a0<\/em>be working on\u00a0The Witcher,\u00a0<\/em>but other projects, as well. We don’t know what those are\u00a0at the moment, but we do know that she has stated in the past that she has multiple seasons’ worth of content planned for Geralt of Rivia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLauren is a formidable talent with a strong creative vision and diverse skill-set that she brings to every project she touches,\u201d added Bela Bajaria, global head of TV for Netflix. \u201cLauren\u2019s work on \u2018The Witcher\u2019 has firmly established her as both a preeminent creator and showrunner, and we\u2019re excited to continue working with her on future projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those mainly interested in her fantasy takes, The Witcher\u00a0<\/i>season 2 is set to arrive on December 17, making it\u00a0the perfect show to binge-watch<\/a> during the holidays. You can also check out the latest casting choices revealed<\/a> for The Witcher: Blood Origi<\/em>n,\u00a0<\/em>which is yet another prequel tale on the horizon over at Netflix.\u00a0<\/p>\n
