In just a few weeks, Netflix’s fantasy epic The Witcher will return with new episodes. Season 3 will be a bittersweet affair. On the one hand, the preliminary climax of the saga awaits us with lots of magic, action and shocking twists. At the same time it is also the last season in which we get to see Henry Cavill as Geralt.
For some viewers, Henry Cavill’s exit is a valid reason to turn their backs on the fantasy series. The announcement of the farewell also hit his The Witcher colleagues hard. This only became known when the shooting of Season 3 had long since been completed. Now Henry Cavill’s co-star speaks out for the first time.
Anya Chalotra says Henry Cavill is leaving The Witcher after Season 3
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, The Witcher actress Anya Chalotra, who plays the magician Yennefer von Vengerberg in the series, commented publicly on Henry Cavill’s exit for the first time.
The message was…yes, that is hard to take, because he’s an important part of the series and we all admire him. We will miss him very much. I wish him all the best.
Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth will take on the role of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher season 4, which has already been ordered by Netflix. For Chalotra the Recruitment is definitely a big challenge be. After all, the chemistry and the relationship between Yennefer and Geralt (and Ciri) is the emotional anchor point of the fantasy story.
Fans can also be excited what Yennefer expects in Season 4. This is based on the novel Baptism of Fire, the 3rd main volume of the witcher saga by Andrzej Sapkowski. In it, Yennfer von Vengerberg is unfortunately not part of the main story and has only a brief appearance.
