Let’s simplify:
Writer X has an idea for a fantasy show
Can’t get it sold
Writer X slaps Witcher lore on their own script loosely
Script is sold because now it’s a known property, the industry likes that
Now the writers follow the “official” plot for a while and steer towards their own ideas more and more because that’s what they wanted to do originally.
That seems to describe a few shows that let me down.
I'm not trying to defend Witcher. I was just curious on your thoughts. I have heard the writers didn't care that much for the original content, but I don't know any details.
There are way too many shows with well known IP that follow this exact formula 😕
Usually when nobody from the original IP cares enough to get involved or they aren’t allowed to
