The wait is finally over! Netflix has dropped the full trailer for THE WITCHER starring Henry Cavill and it is certainly one to be watched. It has been revealed that the highly anticipated series will be arriving on Netflix on December 20th.

It certainly is a decent length trailer coming in just at two-minutes-and-twenty-seconds. It is enough to tease fans but not too much to spoil it either, showing nods to both the popular game and books.
