These episode titles were all tweeted out by the official The Witcher Netflix channel – and are mostly nonsensical, at least until we get their final context. Perhaps more interesting are the hints that accompany each tweet, which seem to point to various different scenarios – including many that fans of the original books will be familiar with.
Terms such as “The Law of Surprise” – where someone saved by another has to offer their saviour a boon, usually the firstborn child – and mentions of a dragon, ‘The Witcher family’, and an apparent origin story for Yennefer feature. The fifth episode seems to be the one the introduces Jaskier, a.k.a. Dandelion the bard, one of the most popular recurring characters in both the books and games – played here by Knightfall’s Joey Batey.
