Netflix axes blockbuster show's prequel series in another blow to fans after major casting shake-up


Netflix has axed an upcoming prequel to one of its most successful series as part of its latest string of programming cuts.

Fans of The Witcher were emotional after seeing the lead actor Henry Cavill's final scenes last year and the decision to axe spinoff series The Rats will not help their cause. The final two seasons are said to adapt the remaining of his books Baptism Of Fire, The Tower Of The Swallow, and Lady Of The Lake while promising to offer a conclusion to the series that is both epic and satisfying. Centre-stage was Liam Hemsworth, who has bulked up considerably for his new role, joined by castmembers Anya as the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg, Freya as Geralt’s ward Ciri, Joey as Jaskier the bard, Cassie Clare as the witch Philippa Eilhart and Mahesh Jadu as the mage Vilgefortz of Roggeveen.
