Part 4/14:

Henry Cavill, a passionate fan of Sapkowski’s universe and the star who brought credibility to the series, announced his departure in October 2022. By then, the show’s viewership was already on a downward spiral—dropping from an audience score of 89% in season one to just over 22% in season three. Cavill cited creative differences and a lack of respect for the source material as reasons for his exit, signaling a deep disconnect with the show's direction.
