The performance of Henry Cavill in season 3 left fans emotional when his character almost faced death. This depiction of Geralt made people even more attached to the former Superman. However, viewers cannot deny the fact that the series has many other things that are important for the storyline.
Splendid Star Cast
Actors like Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra have proved themselves worthy of their characters in The Witcher. Fans have loved the young actress playing Ciri, who showcased her impeccable talent in the show. The girl took immersive training to fit the role and become a true fighter, according to the storyline. As for her on-screen mother, Chalotra challenged the beauty standard by landing the role of Yennefer.
The books depict this powerful sorcerer as the most beautiful woman in the world, but she proved that women of color can take the limelight too. Then there is Joey Batey’s Jaskier, who has been the only light bringer in this world of wars and battles. His music and bubbly nature provided moments of solace to other characters.
True To The Books
The creators of the fantasy drama have promised viewers that season 4 will follow the origin story closely. They have added some talented writers to the team who will explain the replacement of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. Moreover, the following story will focus on the princess of Cintra, who goes on a solo journey through the desert of Korath.
The ending of season 3 dropped a major cliffhanger where Ciri changed her name to Falka. Not to mention, the fake princess has stolen her identity, so season 4 will show what path she would choose now. Considering she is the key to the entire story and everything that has happened until now is for her and because of her.

Fans have always questioned the way creators have strayed from the original storyline. But it is undeniable the show is still an adaptation of one of the most celebrated fantasy novels in the world. Readers around the globe have remained attached to the projects that connect with Andrzej Sapkowski’s books.
So with or without Cavill, this show will keep on reminding people of the world where mages and mutants rule. Also, fans are yet to witness what Liam Hemsworth will bring to them with his acting talent. And that is something worth a shot for fans who still want to know more about the impending events.
