Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Netflix has officially renewed The Witcher for two more seasons, but the original plan for seven installments has been cut short. The fantasy series, based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, has had a rocky run through its existing three seasons.
The viewership for The Witcher season 3 was 15% lower than that of season 2 in the first eight weeks after release, which is never a great sign for a series a few installments in. However, it was the drop in viewership between the first handful of episodes that was the most alarming. By The Witcher season 3, episode 5, 60% of those who had started episode 1 had stopped watching.
The Witcher: Blood Origin was an embarrassing critical failure, earning only a 28% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes . Though it has never been entirely clear why Cavill decided to leave The Witcher after he had previously voiced his passion regarding the project, it is commonly believed that this had something to do with the show's changes to Sapkowski's books. The actor had stated that he would be happy to commit to all seven seasons of The Witcher so long as the sanctity of the world was preserved. Since this didn't happen, it's not much of a surprise that he bailed.
