The Witcher Netflix series will return for a fourth series, though there will be a massive change within the series itself.
Henry Cavill has announced that he will be stepping down as Geralt after the upcoming third season debuts.
The mantle will now be taken up by Liam Hemsworth and he will become Geralt of Rivia.
Henry Cavill released a statement;
“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,” Cavill said in a statement on Instagram. “In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. 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. Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find.”
While Liam Hemsworth also released a statement;
“As a Witcher fan, I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia. Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honored that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure,” Hemsworth’s statement reads. “Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world.”
The Witcher: Blood Origin will come to Netflix on December 25. While season 3 of The Witcher will release summer of 2023.
