Geralt of Rivia, aged around 106 in the show’s third season, held a mysterious age, much like other characters in the series where timelines were not straightforwardly revealed. Netflix’s timeline offered subtle hints to fans eager for clarity. Cavill, the actor embodying Geralt, was 40 years old during the third season. Born in 1983, he was 36 at the time of the show’s debut in 2019. Some critics initially found him too handsome for the rugged Geralt, yet the majority hailed his portrayal as a flawless fit for the character, winning over most audiences.

Yennefer’s age in the show presented a puzzling enigma. There existed a peculiar 19-year deviation between her age in the novels and the series. Anya Chalotra, who portrayed Yennefer, stood at 27 years old during the show, starting her role as Yennefer at the tender age of 23. As for Ciri, she was depicted as 16 in the show, while Freya Allan, born in 2001, is presently 22 years old. Remarkably, she embarked on her Witcher journey at just 18 when the inaugural season aired, showcasing her talent from an early age.

Cavill’s momentary demise stirred a frenzy across social media, causing a whirlwind of shock and disbelief. In 2018, at the spry age of 34, the Superman actor found himself confronting the bizarre news of his own death. The unexpected revelation came courtesy of a Wikipedia blunder, which mistakenly proclaimed his demise on March 3, 2018. In a humorous Instagram post, Cavill shared his astonishment alongside a screenshot of the erroneous report. He captioned it with a touch of irony: “When you learn that you died 2 days ago….”.

Amidst the confusion, fans flooded Cavill’s post with relief-laden comments, celebrating his not-so-dead status. Jokingly, they applauded his vitality, remarking on his fresh and vibrant appearance for someone who had allegedly departed this world. Despite the chaos caused by this erroneous Wikipedia edit, Cavill, with a blend of amusement and grace, responded to the confusion. Moreover, he assured his followers that reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated. No wonder Cavill’s age has been the talk of the town.
