Justice League star Henry Cavill has been cast as a lead in Netflix series The Witcher.

Lauren Schmidt Hissrich will serve as an executive producer and showrunner on the series, the streaming giant said in a statement.

It is based on the best-selling fantasy series and follows Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, as he struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.
