На данный момент над «Ведьмаком» работают десять сценаристов четырёх разных этносов — пять женщин и пять мужчин, из которых трое имеют небелый цвет кожи, а двое родились за пределами США. По словам Хиссрич, подобное распределение относится ко всему съёмочному коллективу.
Напомним, что второй сезон сериала должен стартовать в 2021 году. Приостановленное в марте производство, скорее всего, возобновят в ближайшие недели.
1.) A spectrum of writing experience: people who’d been at it for 20 years and those who were brand new. It’s part of my job to mentor the next generation of writers, just as I was once trained. But I also need people who know television structure and production inside and out.
