Wow, good news for Henry Cavill and The Witcher as Netflix releases viewing numbers offering the series is its biggest new show.
During the company’s investors call on Tuesday, Netflix let it be known that 76 million member households chose to watch the action-fantasy series.
If we assume that at least half of those households had more than one person watching, that would mean over 100 million people tuned in to watch Henry Cavill and The Witcher series.
The number could actually be a lot higher obviously if households have numerous people watching the show.
The Witcher renewed for Season 2 starring Henry Cavill
Prior to the release of Season 1 in December, Netflix had already renewed The Witcher Season 2 just before Henry Cavill appeared at the Argentina Comic-Con.
“Geralt’s adventure is only beginning….” Netflix teased on social media. “The Witcher has been renewed for Season 2!”
“I’m so thrilled to announce: Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri will be back for more adventures… in Season Two,” showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich tweeted following the announcement. “I could not be more proud of what the amazing cast and crew of The Witcher have accomplished, and can’t wait for the world to dig in and enjoy these stories with us. Yeah, family! We’re doing it all again!!”
To mark the occasion at the time, Henry Cavill also posted a new image of himself as Geralt on Instagram: “As you may have heard, Season 2 of The Witcher has been announced! To mark the occasion I thought I’d share one of my favourite shots from my Season 1 personal collection.”
