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. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

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.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

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.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
