To the befuddlement of many, Henry Cavill is no longer playing Geralt in Netflix's Witcher series, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role.
The good news (depending on how strongly you feel about this recasting) is that the show will return for a fourth season, though Cavill won't be coming back for it. Netflix announced yesterday (October 29) that the other Hemsworth would be taking over the role, for reasons that aren't exactly clear, though might have something to do with the actor officially coming back as Superman.
"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. "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."
