The Witcher season 3 is nearly upon us, which means we’re also bidding farewell to Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt (cue the tears!). In anticipation of the upcoming season on Netflix, the show’s producers have been dropping hints about Cavill’s final moments as Geralt and what lies ahead with Liam Hemsworth’s entrance.
Executive producer Steve Gaub expressed his enthusiasm for Cavill’s performance, stating, “It’s a very powerful season for Henry, a remarkable finale for him as Geralt.” He emphasized the importance of leaving the audience with a lasting impression, and assured fans that the last few episodes would be particularly impactful for Cavill’s character.
“I believe he left the role with his head held high, as many franchises eventually pass the torch from one actor to another. We’re confident that Liam will do an excellent job and take the character forward.”

Tomek Baginski, another executive producer, hinted at the show’s approach to introducing Hemsworth as the new Geralt in season 4. “We have an excellent plan to introduce our new Geralt and our fresh vision for the character with Liam,” he revealed. While he refrained from divulging specific details to avoid spoilers, he mentioned that their ideas align closely with the meta concepts explored in the books, particularly in book five, “The Lady of the Lake.”
These hints about recasting have sparked intrigue, as they suggest the show may take a multiverse-like approach in its fourth season. In the fifth book of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher saga, Ciri finds herself in a different world through a portal. Could the show be exploring similar themes in its narrative?
As we prepare to bid farewell to Cavill’s Geralt (which is undoubtedly an emotional challenge for many), we have been treated to insights into his character’s development in the upcoming season. The Witcher season 3 trailer alludes to an impending war, while Cavill himself has shared glimpses of how Geralt evolves throughout the season.
