The director talks about season 4
After the announcement of Henry Cavill’s departure after the third season of The Witcher, few statements have been made about the continuation of the series. All we know is that his departure is related to the fact that he did not appreciate that the production deviates greatly from the story of the books, being himself a fan of the franchise.
Recently, the director Lauren Hissrich spoke about the continuation of the series which will take place without the British actor who had won the hearts of fans:
It was time for him to move on. I think we all grieve in our own way. We had a choice to have Geralt leave and end the show. But that’s not something we wanted to do. There are still too many stories to tell.
If we replaced Geralt with another Witcher, we’d be moving completely away from the books, and I don’t think that’s what people wanted.
We are all excited about Liam’s arrival. He’s going to have to be up to it, but he also has a lot of energy and enthusiasm. This is obviously a whole new chapter for us. And that involves a lot of things. But at the end of the day, we love what we do and we’re going to keep going.
In short, the end of the series had been decided after the departure of Henry Cavill, but this is not ultimately what happened. After also considering centering the story on another witcher, they opted for a change of actor. The director seems optimistic about the performance of Liam Hemsworth replacing Henry Cavill, and she does not seem ready to stop the series.
