After the announcement of the exit of their favorite Witcher, Henry Cavill, the whole fandom is sad. However, the streaming giant is coming up with a live-action spin-off of The Witcher before the 4th season arrives. While fans are waiting to see Cavill as Witcher for the last time in season 3, they reacted against the spin-off.

Season 3 of The Witcher is in the post-production stage and will be released in the summer of 2023. Season 3 will see Ciri’s association with a group of young Nilfgaardian misfits called The Rats. Now a new spin-off might primarily focus on The Rats. But because Henry Cavill left the show, this prequel doesn’t really excite fans.

Post-Henry Cavill exit, The Witcher fans are against the spin-off

If you’ve read the book, you would know Cirilla spends a period with The Rats, whom we might see in season 4 of the show as well. However, there is uncertainty about the spin-off being made about The Rats. But before season 3 and season 4, Netflix is planning to land this prequel, which shows there might be the origin story of The Rats. Therefore, to call it a prequel or not, that is the question.

But the intention behind the spin-off is to explore the characters of The Rats, as they are not much loved. So, it makes sense if the makers want to explore more about them before the third season arrives. But fans are not excited about it because of the exit of their favorite Witcher.

Fans think it is a waste of time

Although there might be some readers who would like to see the spin-off, the majority of fans are not interested as they won’t see Geralt of Rivia the same again. This is how they are expressing their feelings about the exit of the English actor and the spin-off as well.

Well, fans are not happy about the choice of characters and the timing of the spin-off. They will release the new spin-off in the next month. Until the Blood Origin, the other spin-off arrives, tell us your opinions about the same.

If you are nursing the wound left by Cavill’s sudden exit, be sure to stream The Witcher on Netflix to relive the glory days of the actor.
