Netflix's showrunner discusses the relationship between Geralt and Dandelion

The Witcher showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich has been talking a lot about the upcoming series, detailing various relationships and character details. In her latest snippet with Comicbook.com, Hissrich discusses how the back-and-forth between Geralt and Dandelion (Jaskier) works out.

"Going back to Jaskier, he's absolutely in the series. We didn't look to him as narration, frankly because when I write narration I tend to get a little bit lazy in the actual storytelling. It sounds like a ridiculous thing, but if you can have someone tell you what you're watching, then you don't really need to watch it. To me, it was about the best way to include Jaskier in the stories, and that, in my opinion, is being a foil to Geralt. Their scenes together are amazing.

Yeah, Jaskier drives Geralt a little bit crazy, but also is able to, he's a little bit of a truth-teller to Geralt, and he's able to get in. You know, I always talk about that soft squishy place inside Geralt that he wants to keep it all in, and Jaskier basically points at it, he's like a five-year-old, and like digs in and sort of just basically pokes at him. So it's a lot of fun."
