The Witcher

Four seasons, two animated films, a prequel nobody needs and a special that is not episode nine.

Where to start with The Witcher

Release order, with one thing to know before you press play: the first season runs three separate stories at three different points in time and does not tell you, which is why so many people give up on it.

  1. 1
    The Witcher, season 1 The Witcher

    Eight episodes cutting between Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri, whose stories are decades apart and only meet in the last one. Knowing that going in is the difference between confusing and clever.

  2. 2
    The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep

    An animated film that fills the gap between episodes 5 and 6 of the first season, and sets up the dragon hunt. Watch it after the season rather than in the middle of it.

  3. 3
    The Witcher, season 2 The Witcher

    The three strands finally run in one time, which makes it a much easier watch than the first. It assumes you followed who was where and when.

Then what? Then seasons three and four, remembering that season three is one season of eight released in two halves and not two seasons. The Rats comes after season four, on Netflix's own advice. Nightmare of the Wolf and Blood Origin are optional far-past context and are both better after the first season than before it. Season five has been filmed and has no announced date.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
