Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrichaddressed some criticisms ofÂThe Witcherin an extensive and informative Twitter thread about the creative process and how certain decisions are made when adapting any sort of media. However, ina recent interview with TV GuideHissrich stated that the multiple timelines ofThe Witcher‘s first season was “obviously one of the most controversial aspects of the show,” and while she defended this approach to telling the story, she acknowledged that some audiences found this storytelling device to be confusing.

In that regard,Hissrich explainedthat Season 2 of the show “will be a lot easier to follow,” and that the next season “aligns all of our characters on a similar timeline.” While the show seemingly will still utilize a structure taking place over different periods of time, Hissrich stated that its approach will be done “in a different way” that should hopefully be more appealing to audiences.
