The Witcher series without Henry Cavill sets negative record
Comicbook.com notes this by looking at the franchise’s Rotten Tomatoes ratings. There comes Blood Origin with 33% critics and 10% audience rating well behind the parent series and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, both of which score at least 75%.

The Witcher series could not develop strength without Henry Cavill, according to IndieWire. “Only for completists” writes Variety.
