Lauren Hissrich the showrunner of the series The Witcher on Netflix, has promised that the third season will be closer to the books of Andrzej Sapkowski than the second was, which has taken a completely different path, using the original texts practically only as a basis supportive.
Many fans didn’t like it, with the controversy being fueled by the abandonment of Henry Cavill, the actor who will play Geralt of Rivia until the end of the third season, and the release of The Witcher: Blood Origins, a Netflix mini-series so low quality that it makes it look like Xena Citizen Kane.
Apparently things should change with season 3, which will at least try to get closer to the original texts. According to Hissrich, there will be parts of the books that have been adapted very faithfully (one to one): “Obviously, we can’t do every page, but Time of Contempt gave us so many big action events, plot points, defining character moments, huge reveals of a big bad. There’s so much to do that we were able to stick really, really closely with the books.“
However, it is unlikely that there will be a complete return to the story told by Sapkowski, unless we completely deny some of the narrative twists of the second season. Anyway, we’ll see.
