Enraged fans of The Witcher franchise and gamesThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt“(The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt) created a petition on change.org to demand the release of Lauren Hissrich from the duties of the Witcher showrunner season 2 for her disrespect for the original source and the distortion of many features of the world created by Sapkovsky.
In their petition, fans wrote that Lauren Schmidt does not comply with the canons of the franchise created by Sapkowski and in every way shows disrespect for the Witcher brand and its fans. Instead of focusing on the strengths of Geralt’s story, fans say, Lauren Hissrich uses the series to develop modern, progressive ideas about racism and feminism. Therefore, fans evaluate the quality of the first season of The Witcher as extremely low, and believe that Netflix can significantly improve the quality of the series by firing the lead show runner The Witcher and taking another experienced screenwriter in its place. It is worth noting that more than 1,700 fans of The Witcher franchise signed the new petition within hours after publication, who for various reasons considered the first season of the series from Netflix unsatisfactory.
