According to Hissrich, the first episode of the show will kick off while Geralt is in the middle of a journey.

Then there’s the death of a character and that’s what launches him off onto his journey. That starts to complicate things for a man who thought he’d had it all figured out. It’s a pretty fun place to start. It’s really a character on the edge of a new journey.”[/perfectpullquote]

If you are wondering why Geralt does not look a day over 50, it is due to his Witcher genes that are chemically enhanced to make him a crazy supernatural monster-slaying machine.
