Part 7/8:
The Future of The Witcher
With the departure of Cavill and the lukewarm reception of recent seasons, Netflix faces a challenging path forward. The recasting of Geralt with Liam Hemsworth—the actor stepping into Cavill’s shoes—has been met with skepticism. Many fans have already voiced their disappointment, feeling that the magic of Cavill’s performance might be irretrievable.
Additionally, the latest comments from Sapkowski and the persistent reports of Netflix disregarding the source material cast doubt on whether the show can rebound. Unless the streaming giant re-evaluates its approach and respects the core elements of the books, the future of The Witcher on Netflix remains uncertain.
