Already The Number 1 In 38 Countries, Netflix's Biggest Fantasy Series Scores Immediate High Viewership
The fourth season of The Witcher featuring Liam Hemsworth is achieving record-high viewership worldwide.
The fourth season of The Witcher has claimed the top spot on Netflix worldwide just days after its release. The fantasy series currently ranks at the top of the list of most-watched titles in 32 countries. The return of Geralt of Rivia, now played by Liam Hemsworth, proves to be a huge success for the streaming service, which has been working towards this revamped version of one of its biggest series.
The new season picks up the story following the devastating events of the previous season. Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri have forged their own paths, but their journeys intertwine once again as the battle for power and magic escalates. The tone of the series is darker, the storylines are more complex, and the political intrigues are more sharply defined than ever. Netflix is positioning this season distinctly as a reboot of the franchise.
The transition from Henry Cavill to Liam Hemsworth was a topic of discussion for months, but the viewership numbers show that fans have remained loyal to the series. In the first few days after its release, The Witcher recorded explosive growth in popularity, achieving the top position in Germany, France, Poland, Brazil, Spain, and the Netherlands. It is now officially the most-watched Netflix series at this moment.
In addition to the new lead actor, season four also welcomes notable additions to the cast, including Laurence Fishburne as the mysterious vampire Regis and Peter Mullan as a new version of Vesemir. The combination of familiar faces and fresh influences appears to give the series a new lease on life.
According to Netflix, this season marks the beginning of a concluding two-part storyline in which the fate of the three main characters is sealed. Initial reactions suggest that the new direction is working: less emphasis on monster battles, more focus on the moral and political landscape. If the current viewership numbers are any indication, The Witcher seems unlikely to lose its place at the top anytime soon.
