“I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for season 4.” This statement by the ever-talented and brilliant actor, 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.

Cavill is a huge fan of the books 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.
