'The Witcher': Why Henry Cavill Quit & Doomed the Show in the Process

From its inception in 2019, The Witcher has weathered a fair amount of bad press. In its initial season, it overcame casting concerns, with Henry Cavill establishing the Netflix original series as a bona fide hit in a genre starving for a new fantasy-themed fix. Based on a beloved character from the video games of the same name (the game series based on a fantasy book series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski), the Geralt character soon became a hallmark for Netflix, which has endured a fair number of flops. This might explain why they are so determined to keep the show running even as it bleeds out — Henry Cavill bidding adieu to his magic medallion for good.
