The fate of The Witcher seems to be getting more blurred in the eyes of the fans. Henry Cavill exiting the show was already no good news, but there are more problems than one. As the third season prepares to drop, the series team has been giving interviews, and dropping hints about what is to come. Recently, its show maker Lauren Hissrich spoke on what we can expect from the next season.

When a show is adapted from a book material, twisting angles from it either proves successful or gets hate from the fans. There were even speculations about Cavill leaving the show because it did not stick to the source material. Although Hissrich is admitting to facing heat, not for Geralt’s character but for someone else.

The Witcher creator accepts facing ‘feedback’ over a twisted storyline

The Witcher has undoubtedly been one of the biggest Netflix shows. But in recent times, it has been in discussions, mostly for the decisions regarding it. Apart from cast change, character change has been an issue that creator Lauren Hissrich has finally admitted about. Especially in regard to season 2, she received feedback about Yennfer’s actions. The witch played by Anya Chalotra who is Geralt’s love interest, apparently received way more focus than the book source.

While the book focuses on the main character, the show has her doing things that leave him losing his trust in her. Hissrich called this a ‘story problem’, but fans feel that it would’ve never happened if they had stuck to the source material. Although she has promised of reconnecting love between the two in the next and third season.

Whether Liam Hemsworth will be accepted in The Witcher or not remains a whole different question. But the fan base already has its roots shaken over the storyline.

The writers are being criticized for taking the focus away from Henry Cavill’s character, which meant drifting away from the book’s source.

Since the actor was a big fan of the game and books for a long, some feel that he should’ve been made in charge of the show as well.

One fan feels that it had the potential to reach the fame of Game of Thrones, but story changes messed it up. Season 3 of The Witcher is set to drop in this summer.
