Part 6/8:
This neglect of Sapkowski's input seems to have had severe repercussions. The show's quality declined sharply, with fans citing poor storytelling, botched character arcs, and departure from key elements of the books. Henry Cavill’s exit was perhaps the most visible casualty of these missteps. As the original Geralt, Cavill’s commitment and understanding of the character endeared him to fans, and his departure further alienated the core audience.
Netflix’s decision to continue with Season 4 despite declining ratings and the protests from the fanbase appears increasingly uncertain. While plans may still be underway, industry insiders speculate that the series may not have the longevity initially intended, especially considering the exodus of fans who once eagerly followed it.
