So far, “The Witcher” has been a complete success for Netflix, which is why two spin-offs were created. “Nightmare of the Wolf” and “Blood Origin” had expanded the universe even further. However, recently the reviews from the trade press and the response from viewers have no longer been so enthusiastic. The change in the main actor wasn't particularly well received by most fans. Liam Hemsworth has big shoes to fill after Henry Cavill emerged as the “perfect fit” for Geralt of Rivia.
