On July 27, Netflix released the second part of the third season of 'The Witcher', the last one with Henry Cavill in the role of Geralt of Rivia. His replacement was going to be Liam Hemsworth, but this could take an unexpected turn after the last known events. It seems that the TV show has been put on hold despite having a fourth instalment confirmed and it is not clear that production will resume.
Everything has arisen as a result of a publication by Redanian Intelligence, in which they claim that filming of the fourth season was scheduled for this coming September. However, although they point out that this could be due to the strike of screenwriters and actors in Hollywood, the outlet argues that there could be more reasons behind it and that could make the third installment the one that ends 'The Witcher'.
At the moment, there is speculation that filming, if it resumes, may not start until 2024, with no specific date set. However, there are those who predict that the series may never see the light of day with Liam Hemsworth, who would not even have time to step into the shoes of the protagonist.
Cavill's departure, falling ratings, the cost of The Witcher
Apparently, there are several reasons why Netflix could be considering cancelling the show for good. On the one hand, the cost of The Witcher is very high and, without going any further, Henry Cavill's salary in the third instalment went from 400,000 to one million dollars per episode. This, together with the progressive drop in ratings, has provoked a debate about the continuity of the series.
In addition, there is some uncertainty about the controversy surrounding Cavill's departure and the arrival of Liam Hemsworth, whose signing has provoked all kinds of reactions from the fan community. The fear of a boycott could lead Netflix to take advantage of this indefinite hiatus to rethink its strategy with 'The Witcher'.
In any case, this delay would mean that the fourth (and possibly final) season would not see the light of day until 2025, as filming will not resume until sometime in 2024.
