Netflix will begin to communicate officially around season 3 of The Witcher. The streaming giant unveils a first appetizer and gives us an appointment tomorrow.
The announcement of Henry Cavill’s departure from The Witcher series was a real earthquake. The one who was to resume his role as Superman will put on the mantle of the White Wolf one last time during season 3 of the Netflix series. After that, he will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth. A choice that has made, and continues to make, flow a lot of ink and which divides the community of fans. The American giant had then since contented itself with a few declarations to reassure the spectators as to the continuation of the adventures of Geralt on the small screen. The SVOD platform finally seems ready to show The Witcher Season 3.
News for The Witcher Season 3
Season 3 of the series The Witcher approach. The next episodes airing on Netflix will mark the end of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. A decision that continues to sadden spectators who quickly made their dissatisfaction known after the American giant refused to reconsider the return of the actor even after his ousting as Superman. Netflix has promised that The Witcher season 3 will therefore be the last stand of the Witcher as fans appreciate it and the American company is undoubtedly already rubbing its hands thinking of the enthusiasm that the next episodes will generate. To increase the impatience of the fans, the platform has just unveiled a first image of the new season still awaited at an indefinite date.
In it, Geralt is seen hugging and comforting Ciri and Yennifer by their side. That’s all…for now at least. Netflix indeed promises to give news tomorrow with certainly a trailer and a release date to the key. We will no doubt know if the giant with the red logo has finally decided to ride the departure of Henry Cavill to the end by cutting season 3 of The Witcher into two parts to create the event. Lauren Hissrich, the showrunner of the series, had in any case not excluded this possibility.
A different Geralt in Season 4
She also explained that Henry Cavill’s Geralt and that of his replacement, Liam Hemsworth would be very different to mark the break between the two actors. “IHe will have to abandon his neutrality and do whatever it takes to join Ciri. And for me, it’s the most heroic goodbye we could say, even if it wasn’t written for that. Geralt has a new mission in mind when we find him again in the fourth season. It will be a different Geralt than we expected “, she had then declared.
Fans are obviously in no rush to experience this new face of Geralt, both literally and figuratively. Many deepfakes have shown what Henry Cavill’s replacement could look like in the role and so far it’s blowing between hot and cold. The Australian actor for his part spares no effort to silence his detractors when the time comes. Intensive physical training, extensive lore reading… Hemsworth obviously takes things seriously. Whether that will be enough remains to be seen.
