All good things end someday! Just like that, Henry Cavill has finally bid farewell to his iconic role in Netflix’s The Witcher. Since the dawn of this show, he has proved himself to be a capable, burly Geralt. The actor has passed on the torch of this character to Liam Hemsworth, who will play the role from season 4. But most of the fans are still not convinced of what creators have to offer them. In fact, one online poll has revealed that more than 80% of viewers have decided to step back after his exit.

Despite all the doubts fans have about this major change in one of the leading characters, there are some reasons why the series still got the charm to hook people.

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.
