Amid numerous headlines about The Witcher<\/em> star Henry Cavill leaving the Netflix series, the franchise continues with The Witcher: Blood Origin<\/em>a prequel to the story.<\/p>\n

fan of The Witcher<\/em> have been increasingly vocal with their opinions of the Netflix adaptation of the famed franchise, including Cavill’s departure, but showrunner Declan De Barra stressed that, fans of the franchise being particularly passionate about the narrative, it’s not constructive to write specifically to serve a fan base<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never write exactly for fans, it is impossible because every person has their own version of that book in their head, their own version of Geralt, their own version of Yennefer, their own version of Conjunction of the Spheres,\u201d De Barra told Yahoo Canada<\/em>. \u201cIt’s just such a massive fan base and you’re never going to satisfy everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo our job as storytellers is to tell the best through line, the strongest story we can, and we love this stuff. We’re passionate about it. So it’s finding that through line that will, hopefully, tell a story that will bring everybody on board going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

For executive producer Lauren Hissrich, she indicated that she “loves” engaging with fans who are “super passionate,” but she also ventured to make this franchise something that can connect to any viewer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things, from the very beginning, that I wanted with this franchise is to show that fantasy is actually for everyone,\u201d Hissrich said. \u201cI didn’t come into The Witcher<\/em> as someone who had played dedicated hours on the game, I’d read the first few books and I had fallen in love with them, even before I was asked to do the series.”<\/p>\n

“I then read the rest of them and I realized, wow this series is actually for a lot of people. That’s why, for me, I elevated a few more female characters. We are all about diversity, inclusion, making sure that the world that we’re representing on the screen represents the real world in front of us, and showing that fantasy welcomes everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
