J. Kim Murphy There are plenty of stereotypes about the treatment of writers in Hollywood. “The Witcher” creator Andrzej Sapkowski became all too familiar with them when visiting the set of the Netflix series based on his fantasy novels.

The writer says that the various adaptations of his work — which include a hit video game series by Polish developer CD Projekt Red — have all been “strange” to see come to fruition. “My raw material when I work is only letters.
