&#8220;That&#8217;s exactly what I was going to say!&#8221; &#8211; ‘The Witcher’ Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich Hinted There Is More to the Departure of Henry Cavill

“I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for season 4.” This statement
by the ever-talented and brilliant actor, Henry Cavill,
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] broke many hearts. Well, the
British actor will still be Geralt of Rivia for the upcoming season 3 of the
show. But his fans will not see him further. While some fans speculated the
reason behind the exit of the actor was the writers of the show, others assumed
it was because of his return to the DC Universe as Superman. But the showrunner,
Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, suggested there could be something more to it.

which are the base for the adaptation of the Netflix Original series, The
Witcher. There were rumors that because the writers of the show mocked the
source material and deviated from the original story, Cavill didn’t want to be a
part of it. Now, on the 25th of December, 2022, the prequel to The Witcher is
landing on Netflix. While the stars and everyone associated with The Witcher:
Blood Origins are busy promoting the show, the showrunner Lauren Schmidt
Hissrich faced the question about the departure of Geralt of Rivia.

A SHOWRUNNER HINTS THERE IS MORE TO THE DEPARTURE OF HENRY CAVILL

While promoting the prequel, The Witcher: Blood Origins, they cannot avoid the
questions about the exit of the lead actor from the original show. When NME
asked about the same
[https://www.nme.com/features/tv-interviews/the-witcher-blood-origin-interview-netflix-spinoff-3366830],
the publicist replied that they would try to talk about it in the coming year.
It seemed like they were expecting this question to be asked. But when Lauren
chipped in and said, “That’s exactly what I was going to say!” She added she had
a lot to say. However, they would not go deep into why exactly the Superman alum
left.

> He was my first meeting. I didn’t have writers or scripts yet – just a
> greenlight and a lot of passion. That was four months ago, and I’ve never
> forgotten the passion he brought. He IS Geralt. He always has been. I’m so
> thrilled to welcome HENRY CAVILL to the #Witcher

While hinting at something mysterious here, she asked them to come back after 6
months and ask the question when “we can talk.” Although with these very few
details about the situation, she admitted there is more to know. However, his
fans will see Cavill for yet another season of the show. While we are waiting
for season 3 to land, tell us what you are expecting in season 3.
