'The higher level of nuance and complexity won’t reach people.'

The Big Picture The Witcher recently wrapped up its third season on Netflix, with volume 2 having dropped on the streamer last week. However, it isn't the triumph that was likely hoped for, as fans remain divided, particularly regarding the show's loyalty to its source material. While the series is broadly based upon the fantasy novels written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, several elements are changed for the on-screen adaptation.

In an interview with Wyborcza , the producer opened up about why certain creative decisions were made in translating the novels to the small screen, revealing that changes were made in order to make the story easier to understand for a wider audience.

On adapting content for an international audience, Bagiński said "When a series is made for a huge mass of viewers, with different experiences, from different parts of the world, and a large part of them are Americans, these simplifications not only make sense, they are necessary. It’s painful for us, and for me too, but the higher level of nuance and complexity will have a smaller range, it won’t reach people.

Speculation of Cavill's Exit Supposedly, viewers are not alone in their dismay regarding the show's deviation from its source material, as speculation surrounding Henry Cavill's decision to depart the series runs rampant across the internet. Rumors suggest that the actor became frustrated by the changes made, with him wanting to produce a faithful adaptation - though he has yet to comment at all on his exit.
