Part 8/10:
Many fans are now conjecturing that the The Witcher franchise, as it was originally envisioned, may be beyond saving. With Cavill gone and the showrunners seemingly disinterested in staying true to the source, the franchise risks becoming a shadow of its former self. Early signs include dwindling viewership, negative fan feedback, and the perception that Netflix is desperately trying to cling to a failing product through marketing stunts and name-dropping Cavill.
Some industry insiders emphasize that without Cavill, the star power and authenticity that initially fueled the franchise are irretrievably lost. As the series continues, it’s becoming clearer that the Witcher without Geralt might not survive in the cultural consciousness much longer.
