The third season of The Witcher is on its way to its grand release. However, the sad part is that this will be the last time fans will see Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. The reason behind this is that Cavill is leaving the show and Liam Hemsworth is replacing him. While a lot of fans did not like this choice of makers, one of the showrunners came forward and finally opened up about Cavill’s exit.

When the Man of Steel actor announced his exit from the show, it shook his fans and they were utterly disappointed. However, neither Cavill nor his co-stars nor show makers said a word about this decision. If anything, everybody spoke vaguely about it, leaving fans with absolutely no clarification. However, showrunner Lauren Hissrich finally came forward and shed light on the subject.

Hissrich told Total Film Magazine, “We had the choice to have Geralt exit and to end the show. [But] that’s not something that we were willing to do. There’s just too many stories left to tell.” She also said that it was finally time for Cavill to move on in his life.

The 44-year-old showrunner made her point clear as she spoke about Cavill’s replacement. But what did she say about the one who has replaced him?

What are Hissrich’s thoughts on Liam Hemsworth replacing Henry Cavill?

Hissrich conveyed her positive outlook regarding The Witcher Season 4 and the addition of Liam Hemsworth, who will be taking over from Cavill. She expressed excitement about Hemsworth’s involvement, acknowledging the challenge of filling Cavill’s shoes but highlighting Hemsworth’s energy and enthusiasm for the role.

This upcoming season represents a fresh chapter for the show, with various elements to consider. However, despite the complexities, the team remains passionate about their work and committed to continuing the journey.

The post-production phase of The Witcher Season 3 is underway, and it is scheduled for release in June and July. The first episode of season 3 will be out on June 29. Meanwhile, the spin-off series called The Rats is currently in the pre-production stage. Let’s see if Hemsworth is capable of filling in the shoes of Cavill.
