After Henry Cavill announced in late October that he would not be returning to the Netflix series, The Witcher’s showrunner Lauren Hissrich has now announced that she has a “heroic send-off" planned for the actor. "Henry has given so much to the show and so we want to honor that appropriately," Hissrich told Entertainment Weekly. "What is so interesting is that season 3, to me, is the closest thing that we've done as a one-to-one adaptation of the books," she says. "Obviously, we can't do every page, but Time of Contempt gave us so many big action events, plot points, defining character moments, huge reveals of a big bad. There's so much to do that we were able to stick really, really closely with the books."
"Geralt's big turn is about giving up neutrality and doing anything that he has to do to get to Ciri,” the writer-producer continued. “And to me, it's the most heroic sendoff that we could have, even though it wasn't written to be that. Geralt has a new mission in mind when we come back to him in season 4. He's a slightly different Geralt than we expected. Now, by the way, that's an understatement."
Cavill announced his exit from the show in October when he confirmed his return as Superman in the DC superhero movies after Man of Steel and Justice League. "As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam's take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men," he said at the time. "Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find."
Following that, it was recently revealed that Cavill had a meeting with DC Film’s newly appointed heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. The meeting concluded that the actor ultimately won’t be returning as the iconic Superman. Additionally, Gunn is developing a film on the early days of the Man of Steel which won’t be portrayed by Cavill..
Following Cavill’s exit, Liam Hemsworth will be taking on the beloved role of Geralt of Rivia. As the new Witcher starting Season 4, the showrunner teased, “Geralt has a new mission in mind when we come back to him in season 4. He's a slightly different Geralt than we expected. Now, by the way, that's an understatement." Moreover, the streaming giant also has a prequel series with The Witcher: Blood Origin.
