The Witcher season 3 certainly has a lot of high expectations to live up to, but it also needs to fix a problem with its side characters.

They should receive as much character development as Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra), and Cirilla «Ciri» of Cintra (Freya Allan). Secondary characters from Jaskier (Joey Batey) to Nivellen (Kristofer Hivju) are just as much a part of the Continent, and they enrich the world of The Witcher.

While there is nothing wrong with focusing on the trio at the center of the series, The Witcher season 3 will be even more compelling if all its characters are treated with equal respect. After all, the more well-developed a character is, the more audiences will connect with them, and the more characters viewers can connect with, the better. Stronger supporting characters will only draw viewers deeper into the world of The Witcher, having audience members genuinely involved in the story and its characters.
