The Witcher Season 3 is almost here and even when teases have promised bigger adventures, this is a bittersweet moment for fans. After all, this is the last time Henry Cavill will be taking the mantle of Geralt of Rivia. Since it premiered in 2019, the show has taken viewers on quite a ride. Or one can say that people were impressed with the actor who perfectly matched the whole aura of this monster-slaying hero. Alas! the journey of this version of the monster hunter is about to end soon and cast members are not happy about it.
