Henry Cavill’s goodbye to the series
Henry Cavill announced that he’d be leaving “The Witcher” in a statement, shared on October of 2022. He also shared the news that Hemsworth would be taking on the role. “My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4,” he said. He welcomed Hemsworth to the show and the character, sending him his best wishes.
“Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find,” he wrote.
