Henry Cavill is out as Geralt, Liam Hemsworth is in, but there are so many questions surrounding the recast, such as why Cavill left a show he loved.
Henry Cavill returns as Geralt in The Witcher season 3, but the season will be his last, and he'll be replaced by Liam Hemsworth. The Witcher is based on the book series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski, and it has become one of the most popular shows on Netflix. The series is led by Henry Cavill, who plays Geralt of Rivia, a brooding and enigmatic monster hunter with supernatural abilities, also known as a Witcher.
The writers didn't respond well to this, and it caused conflict between the writing team and Cavill. According to writer Beau DeMayo, "some of the writers were not or actively disliked the books and games ." Showrunner Lauren D Hissrich is even on record for stating that she avoids hiring writers who are familiar with the source material, and this could have rubbed Cavill, and active fan of The Witcher, the wrong way.
Henry Cavill Could Have Left The Witcher Because Of Scheduling Conflicts While it certainly wasn't scheduling conflicts with future DCU performances, there's a chance that Cavill quit The Witcher for other scheduling conflicts. Outside of rising tensions with the writers, this is the most plausible explanation. However, Cavill doesn't have any confirmed upcoming projects, at least none that have been disclosed.
