A few weeks back, we witnessed season 3 of The Witcher make its way to our screens. As we all know, the series was hugely anticipated by the fans. Not only the last season will mark Henry Cavill‘s last appearance as the Geralt of Rivia, but it also promised the fans some exciting developments. The third season of the show gave the fans some incredible moments and also exciting additions to the show. We saw Hugh Skinner leave all the fans in shock after making an unexpected appearance as a video game character. However, it seems like Skinner has a few concerns for his character.

We are no strangers to the fact that Netflix has always been very experimental with The Witcher. At times, the series even took a different path from the original source, which also led to Henry Cavill’s departure. Owing to the past incidents, Hugh Skinner, who made an appearance as Prince Radovid in the recent season, is a little skeptical about how his character would be portrayed in future seasons. Unlike the magic-hating tyrant in the game series, Skinner’s part in the TV show is more gentle and played with great heart and empathy.

However, he admitted that the initial chats with the creators suggested that it was just the beginning of the character.
