Fans of The Witcher can rejoice as Netflix has released an electrifying new trailer for the highly-anticipated third season of the fantasy series, starring Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. The upcoming season marks the end of Cavill’s time as Geralt, but the series is expected to continue for at least two more seasons, with Australian actor Liam Hemsworth leading the cast.
In November 2022, Henry Cavill announced that he will be leaving The Witcher after season three, though the reason behind his exit remains unclear. The news left fans of the show reeling, as Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt of Rivia has been a major draw for the Netflix series.
Stephen Surjik is directing the Witcher season three premiere, working from a script by Mike Ostrowski. Surjik worked on the season two episodes “A Grain of Truth” and “Kaer Morhen” while Ostrowski is an executive producer on the series with two writing credits on “Before a Fall” and “Voleth Meir.” Season three wrapped production this past September.
The future of Netflix’s The Witcher series
The third season of The Witcher is currently scheduled to hit Netflix in Summer 2023. The series has already been renewed for a fourth season, with Henry Cavill being replaced by Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, best known for his work in the Hunger Games series and the Independence Day sequel.
The first two seasons of The Witcher are currently available to stream on Netlfix. Based on the series of books by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski and developed for television by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, The Witcher also stars Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan and Joey Batey.
