The Witcher

Fucking idiots.

I read that as canceled and thought "No shit". Then I realized they still want to make another season. They could have just done this with all of the main actors but they have to sip the stupid drink and make an absolutely pointless season 5 that most people will not watch.

Contracts were already signed and filming was probably half done by the time they got the numbers for season 4 in. Then months for the number crunchers to run the numbers and the suits to discuss what they want to do. By that time there is a good chance that it was cheaper or close to the same cost to finish season 5 over paying to break/finish contracts.

Plus, we all know Netflix isn't afraid to put out complete trash, just to put more hours in their catalog.

But seriously, don't even hate watch s4 or whatever the next one is. just boycott it entirely. send a message.

I don't think I watched 1 episode of S3. If I remember right reviews said Henry was barely in it?

I didn't watch the last season with Cavil in it (since he announced he was leaving before it even aired) as a way to support a gaming bro just trying to make the show true to the rest of the IP. I thought that was season 4, though, and the announcement above was that they were done after the upcoming season is over, but nope, season 4 is the upcoming season with Hemsworth, and they are paying for a season after that.

That makes me second guess my post above. Maybe they had some very unfavorable contracts, but I wouldn't think the show would be deep into filming yet. It would be interesting to hear how the decision was made and how much Cavil leaving, and taking fans with him, made a difference.

I didn't watch a single episode of the Witcher once it was revealed they butchered the casting so bad. Between this and all the people who still bought Diablo 4 yet complain after the fact, some of ya'll need more self control.

I think people were actually pretty good here. Like most of us couldn't even remember which was the "last" season. I had to go back in the thread to figure it out. 3 was the last season with Cavil, which I think like only 2 people even commented on. I think most of us didn't even know that one was out. ha. we all noped out.

It's considered a cancellation because the showrunner had it down for 7 seasons.

Netflix stopped it at 5.

We knew from Season 2 the show was going full-on Woman Power! Fuck'em.

TLDW: Netflix is wrapping up everything Witcher related. Two projects are canceled (Rats and some kids show) and some anime movie is officially the last Witcher media in production. He also goes over how the series filmed both seasons at the same time and they are going to try to cover the last three books and finish 20 extra storylines the writers invented.
