2,073Netflix's Witcher is now infamous for losing its lead actor midway through the show, as Henry Cavill's Geralt was recast with Liam Hemsworth. However, such departures from this show are the norm, not the exception, revealing an incredibly hectic production cycle that was unpleasant to all involved and resulted in the sub-par product we see today.
This is the fourth part of a five part series focused on understanding Netflix’s adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy saga. Throughout, we will look at why certain decisions were made by the production team, why it may not have connected with audiences and make sense of the behind the scenes drama that has led many fans to grow increasingly frustrated at the direction the show is being taken in.
