The Witcher season 3, which will be the last season of the series to star Henry Cavill, sees a major dip in its Rotten Tomatoes audience score.
The Witcher season 3 has a thoroughly rotten audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The Netflix show, which is based on the Polish fantasy novel series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski, stars Henry Cavill as the magically-infused monster hunter Geralt of Rivia. The show has become a Netflix phenomenon, expanding to become a franchise including the animated movie The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf and the spinoff series The Witcher: Blood Origin.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Now that the first part of The Witcher season 3 is available on Netflix, audiences have been able to share their thoughts on various platforms, including Rotten Tomatoes where it has a worse-than-ever 49 percent. This is another sharp drop for the series, which had already slumped from 89 percent to 58 percent in season 2.
Why Audiences Are Rejecting The Witcher Season 3 This negative reaction to the new season of The Witcher is coming from several different directions. Per the audience reviews on the season 3 Rotten Tomatoes page, quite a few viewers are lamenting how far the series has diverged from the original books, which have previously been adapted into a series of popular video games as well.
The Witcher season 3 has also arrived in the midst of a period of controversy for the series. Although The Witcher season 4 has already been renewed, Henry Cavill will be leaving the cast and be replaced by The Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth. This controversial announcement was made in October of last year, so any sour feelings from that decision have had time to crystalize and be carried over into viewings of Cavill's final season.
The Witcher season 3 is also coming in the wake of The Witcher: Blood Origin. The spinoff was lambasted by critics and audiences alike, earning 30 percent from critics and 13 percent from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. That 2022 release may have soured many audience members' feelings about the franchise even further during the long wait between seasons 2 and 3 of the flagship series.
