The Witcher season three will arrive on Netflix subsequent yr—a bittersweet binge for Henry Cavill followers, because it’ll be the final time he’ll play Geralt of Rivia earlier than Liam Hemsworth steps into the function (Superman one thing one thing, Warhammer one thing one thing). But fret not: the departing star will probably be getting a worthy farewell.
“Henry has given so much to the show and so we want to honor that appropriately,” showrunner Lauren Hissrich advised Entertainment Weekly. “Geralt’s big turn [in season three] is about giving up neutrality and doing anything that he has to do to get to Ciri. 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 four. He’s a slightly different Geralt than we expected. Now, by the way, that’s an understatement.”
Hissrich notes that Time of Contempt, the fourth entry in Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novel sequence, will form most of Cavill’s swan tune, calling season three “the closest thing that we’ve done as a one-to-one adaptation of the books … 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.”
The Witcher season three arrives on Netflix in 2023.
