It turns out that another Netflix show helped lay the groundwork for that creative decision.
If you're anything like us, you've been counting down the days until the latest installment of Netflix's small-screen adaptation of The Witcher arrives on the streamer later this week — but this time around, Season 3 won't be premiering in one single drop.
"Fortunately, Stranger Things came out whilst we were in production, and they did a season split. That was very compelling to us, because you don't get to revel in a midseason cliffhanger on a streaming series that's all put out at once, and you kind of want the fans to have that experience. So, for us, it was more about deciding which episode to break on.
'The Witcher's Producers Tease Dark Times Ahead While the core group consisting of Geralt, Ciri , Yennefer , and Jaskier seem to be more in lockstep than they've ever been — apart from Geralt still wrestling with whether to forgive Yennefer for what played out in Season 2 — there are still greater threats looming in the distance, especially when it comes to the various factions on the Continent who have their own designs on Ciri.
That said, The Witcher is technically an adaptation, and that means the creative parties behind the Netflix series have their work cut out for them when it comes to deciding what to keep, what to take out, and what to expand on in ways the source material might not have.
