We hope you're ready for more awesome Witcher content, because those mad lads over at Netflix have released a brand new shot of Geralt (Henry Cavill) all saddled up on his trusty steed, Roach (a horse).
"You begged, we delivered. Here’s your first look at Roach!" reads the tweet. Exciting stuff, and it's great to see that the studio is keeping Roach true to the source material. You see, Roach is a horse in the books and in the games, so having Roach be a horse in the TV series makes a lot of sense. And, as you can clearly see from the embedded photo, that's definitely a horse.
Are you looking forward to Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher? Trot into the comments section below.

The horse playing Roach needs an award for his captivating performance as Geralt's trusty steed.
Why even run this story?
Oh Robert, you're such a tonic
From what I've seen, the horse chosen to play Roach is the most faithful casting choice thus far.
I'm sure all of his fans will be pleased.
It's clearly the wrong breed. Tsk Netflix, Tsk.
the way TV and Film is done now a days i was expecting it to be a camel
I wish they'd show us more video footage and stop horsing around.
@FullbringIchigo They usually just tape a bunch of cats together
Woooah! That's no horse, that's a chestnut Connemara pony!
@Gremio108 or it's a guy in a mocap suit and they CG it
Dammit! I was hoping for a pantomime horse played by Danny devito and arnold swarchznegger.
It looks quite calm. Obviously Cavill has just cast Axii on it.
I heard the main reason for the delay in this reveal was that the animal casting director first brought in a roach named “Horse.”
@Th3solution that was pretty good
@hotukdeals To brighten up your miserable little lives, why else?
Ah horse that looks like a horse!? Gawd dayium! 10/10!
A horse looks like a horse? Netflix has lost every bit of respect for the sources it adapts. Geralt's horse is called Roach, so it clearly should look like a roach!
Wont watch till i see some horse nuts like in RDR2.....
Lame. If The Witcher TV show was going to be any good they'd just have a guy follow Geralt around with a couple of coconuts.
Em ...slow news day. Sorry for the Nag.
I will be watching this on my Pony PlayStation.
@rjejr This needs to be a mod for Witcher 3 on PC.
I was hoping for a hamster chariot. Oh well.
Looking especially forward to the scene in the series where Roach gets stuck on a wall or some other obstacle.
@DigiTM and randomly screeches to halt whilst racing over a narrow bridge.
They cast a HORSE as a horse?! This is awful, unsubbed, I want my money back!
"Exciting stuff(...)", " Roach is a horse in the books and in the games, so having Roach be a horse in the TV series makes a lot of sense. (...) that's definitely a horse."
hmm, I bet that there aren't many news to report right now..
I mean, I'm glad they got the casting right and all, but only one sword on Geralt's back?
