Season 3 has not yet been released, but Netflix already has future plans for the new The Witcher without Henry Cavill.
Netflix does not fear the anger of the fans after the march of henry cavill. Not only has he filmed the fourth season without him, but he today has announced a fifth season of The Witcher.
The Witcher is a saga of fantasy books as successful as those of Game of Thrones. Netflix bought the rights to make the series. The first two seasons have been liked by critics and audiences, and fans immediately connected with the protagonist Geralt de Rivia, played by Henry Cavill.
But a few months ago, the surprise came: Henry Cavill left the series, being replaced by the less charismatic Liam Hemsworth.
Is The Witcher possible without Henry Cavill?
A piece of news that has not sat well, after knowing the reasons. Henry Cavill is adored by fansnot only because in real life he seems like a nice person, but also because he’s a video game geek. He has read all the Witcher books and played the Witcher games, and is a fan of the series.
Sources say that Henry Cavill has left the series because the writers were laughing at the books and the games, and they were completely changing the plots. Something that the fans of these games and books, who are the potential audience of the series, have not liked.
It seems that this anger has been reflected in the bad audience data of the spinoff The Witcher: The Origin of Blood, which was released last Christmas.
Season 3 of The Witcher will premiere on June 29, divided into two parts. The second part will arrive in July. this third season still stars Henry Cavillit is the last one.
Filming has already begun for season 4, with Liam Hemsworth as the lead. The logical thing would be to wait to see how the audience accepts the change of protagonist, and the changes in the script with respect to the book or the games.
But it seems Netflix does not fear the wrath of the fansbecause in an interview in Deadlinethe casting director of the series, Sophie Holland, has said that “We are about to start shooting the fourth season with Liam Hemsworth, and there will be a brief hiatus to go directly to the fifth“.
Therefore, Netflix confirms the filming of season 5 of The Witcher, without waiting for the reaction of the fans with season 4, after the change of Henry Cavill for Liam Hemsworth. Too much risk?
