The English actor was the perfect fit for the role, and we all knew it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the character of Geralt of Rivia is older in the books and games than the current age of the English actor, the showrunners didn&#8217;t see this as a major issue. After all, the White Wolf has gray hair and a grizzled beard. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/all-about-the-third-season-the-witcher-on-netflix-premiere-chapters-cast-and-duration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This added years to the character\u2026 but with the body of a thirty-something<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Geralt is an incredibly attractive, rugged, and stoic character, sculpted in steel<\/strong>. Honestly, Henry Cavill seemed tailor-made for the role, which is why his portrayal of the Witcher has always been sublime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the series has had many problems, especially with its script (the first season&#8217;s narrative style left everyone confused about the plot), <strong>everyone agreed that Henry Cavill was the reason the show was working<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If there&#39;s one thing Geralt can do, it&#39;s slay. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheWitcher?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TheWitcher<\/a> Season 3 Volume 1, now streaming. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7rx4XXcsNf\">pic.twitter.com\/7rx4XXcsNf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Witcher (@witchernetflix) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/witchernetflix\/status\/1674311905853440000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 29, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A fight with the directors and a goodbye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So what happened? Well, it was a matter of differences in vision<\/strong>. Not seeing the work with the same eyes, not agreeing with the artistic direction, not liking the tone and future storyline of the series\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It seems that Henry, being a big fan of the books and Andrzej Sapkowski&#8217;s work, felt that the showrunners were missing the mark<\/strong> with the series and straying too far from the true essence of the Polish writer&#8217;s creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of all this, <strong>Henry Cavill announced last summer that his involvement in The Witcher series had come to an <\/strong>end, and that the third season would be his last as Geralt of Rivia. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/trailer-season-3-the-witcher-netlix-henry-cavill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Now Liam Hemsworth will be taking over for the fourth season<\/a>, and only time will tell if the formula will continue to work.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Netflix\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/d68f44d3-66e1-4b01-a990-7f7700572434\/3316657715\/netflix-netflix%20ixon.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Netflix<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/netflix.en.softonic.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/netflix.en.softonic.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix has just released the new season of The Witcher and it is Henry Cavill&#8217;s final goodbye to the character of the witch.
