Forget box office metrics—Netflix is rewriting the rules. Success for *The Witcher* Season 4 hinges on audience retention and lore immersion, not ticket sales.

- **Cohesion:** Is the political map clear?
- **Expansion:** Can secondary characters anchor the franchise?

It’s a high-stakes battle to prove that fantasy world-building survives beyond legacy heroes.
