Matt and I have worked on some big, complicated-sounding action feature films, like Kingsman and X-men, which have the advantage of a budget for a big sound team to deliver. Supervising sound editor Danny Sheehan attests, “Each episode was as busy as a small action film, really.

Each episode of The Witcher is like a mini-movie, and audiences expect as much thanks to the GoT golden standard. With a loyal fanbase already lined up, Netflix needed to deliver the goods in a big way… which they did. And that, too, contributed to the series’ immediate success. Fans of Geralt of Rivia were eager to see him on the small screen in a new way. But the latter jumped to interactive content first, establishing itself as a beloved and award-winning game series. Like GoT, The Witcher stories started off in print. Game of Thrones departure left us starving for that fantasy world and Netflix was right there with a platter full of The Witcher for us to feast upon. There will always be room for content that includes sword fights, magic, and dragons.
