The reports even suggest that the creators ‘mocked’ the source material. It is a known fact that Cavill was a huge fan of The Witcher video game and novel franchise, even before he landed the role in the series. And the actor’s impressive knowledge of the source material was a major factor behind the creators selecting him to play the part. While fans feel the loss, even after the actor’s exit from the show, creator Lauren Hissrich feels the show will not be affected.
