The Witcher’ Season 4 Logs Franchise-Low Netflix Debut, Trails ‘Nobody Wants This’

A completed fifth season keeps the series on track to finish despite the soft start.

Overview

  • Netflix’s weekly chart for October 27–November 2 lists The Witcher season 4 with about 7.3–7.4 million views, placing it No. 2 on English-language TV.
  • Nobody Wants This season 2 led the English-language list with 9.4 million views for the same week, outpacing The Witcher’s premiere frame.
  • Season 4’s opening is far below prior main-series launches, compared with roughly 15.2 million for season 3 and about 18–18.5 million for season 2.
  • Critical response is subdued, with season 4 around 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest score for the main series to date.
  • Liam Hemsworth debuts as Geralt after Henry Cavill’s exit, and showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich cites Cavill’s commitment to other roles; analysts speculate the downturn could dampen prospects for future spin-offs.
