Wiedźmin (The Hexer or The Witcher in English) is a Polish fantasy television series that aired in 2002.

The Hexer begins with the childhood of Geralt of Rivia (Michał Żebrowski), who is a traveling monster hunter.

Vesemir collected the child while invoking the Law of Surprise.

The series then follows him train at Kaer Morhen, develop his abilities, and mutate.

[1] The series has been described as better than the movie which preceded it, but the poor critical and fan reception of the movie, which was described as a glorified, incoherent trailer for the TV show, was cited as one of the reasons for the series cancellation after 13 episodes.
