What Is the Meaning of the Wild Hunt in ‘The Witcher’?

The Witcher’s executive producer and showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, agreed with IGN’s comparison of the Wild Hunt as The Witcher’s version of Thanos. (Remember that guy who snapped away half of the universe in the MCU?) “What we’re going to start doing [in the show] is beginning to understand where they came from and what they want,” she said. “Like all characters in Sapkowski’s novels, we’re going to get a little bit deeper into them so they’re not just the evil, skeletal bad guys.”
