Netflixin The Witcherin 1. kausi saapui katsottavaksi 20. joulukuuta, ja sarja on osoittautunut menestykseksi. Nyt sarjan luonut Lauren Hissrich on kertonut Colliderin haastattelussa, mitä on opittu 1. kauden tekemisestä.
Lisäksi Hissrich vakuuttaa, että toisessa kaudessa otetaan opiksi, ja tuotanto sujuu hieman nopeammin. Mikäli englanti taittuu, kannattaa lukea linkin takaa enemmän hänen ajatuksiaan.
"With any job, there is the experience of writing it, and then we shoot it. Sometimes when you're shooting something, you'll be like, 'Oh, wow, I am way too clever when I write. I'm trying to do little jokes, and I just need to let the words be themselves and stop trying to be so clever.' Then, you get into post-production and you're like, 'Wow, okay, not only am I trying to be too clever, but I'm also trying to be way too long-winded.' You learn by doing and you learn from the rhythm of your own show. That's the important thing, every show has its own rhythm. Every show has its own internal ecosystem, of what works and what doesn't work. We took a lot of lessons out of Season 1. For me, personally, I took a lot of creative lessons. This was my first time doing this job, as a showrunner, and it was daunting. This is a really big show to cut my teeth on. But what I brought into it was a certain amount of, 'Okay, I'm here, let's get this done.' So, I personally feel like I've learned a lot and, creatively, I feel like I have a better understanding of what worked and what didn't work, from the script."
