"I will make them pay..."

The second part of The Witcher season 3 is set to premiere this Thursday, but the fantasy adventure adaptation's return to Netflix will surely be bittersweet for fans of the show.

Though The Witcher will be back for (at least) one more season, star Henry Cavill will not reprise the role of Geralt of Rivia, with Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games) taking over as the titular monster hunter going forward.

The trailer finds Geralt forced to part ways with his makeshift family (Anya Chalotra's Yennefer of Vengerberg and Freya Allan's Princess Cirilla of Cintra), in an attempt to keep them safe as dark forces close in around them.

We've been assured that Hemsworth's take on the character won't simply be dropped in to season 4 as if nothing has changed, so we assume there will be a storyline explanation for the actor switch.

Check out the new trailer below, along with some fan-art which may give us some idea of how Hemsworth will look at the White Wolf.

"As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where they hope to uncover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line – or risk losing each other forever."

The Witcher also stars Joey Batey (Jaskier), Myanna Buring (Tissaia), Eamon Farren (Cahir), Mimî M Khayisa (Fringilla), Royce Pierreson (Istredd), Anna Shaffer (Triss Merigold), Mecia Simson (Francesca), Tom Canton (Filavandrel), Mahesh Jadu (Vilgefortz), Graham McTavish (Dijkstra), Cassie Clare (Philippa), Hugh Skinner (Radovid), Wilson Mbomio (Dara), Lars Mikkelsen (Stregobor), Terence Maynard (Artorius), Simon Callow (Codringher), Liz Carr (Fenn), Therica Wilson-Read (Sabrina), Safiyya Ingar (Keira), Rochelle Rose (Margarita), Michalina Olszanska) (Marti), Robbie Amell (Gallatin), Jeremy Crawford (Yarpen), Bart Edwards (Emhyr), Aisha Fabienne Ross (Lydia), Christelle Elwin (Mistle), and Meng’er Zhang (Milva).

@tylerzero - No one should.

@tylerzero - Yes if you like fantasy sword magic tv shows like game of thrones. Its not amazing but somewhere between 6-7/10. Watch 1st episode if your not intrigue...skip. I wouldn't sign up for Netflix or any other streaming service for 1 show though.

If you like the character enough, the recasting shouldn't matter.

@mastakilla39 -

I liked the LotR movie trilogy and...that's about it. Never watched a single episode of GoT.

Despite Gandalf's protests, I guess I shall pass.

@tylerzero - you should watch the first episode and then stop there

I never tuned in to this show but I know it seems to have a lot of fans.
Judging by the looks of it, it must have been Henry Cavill because this looks cheap to me lol
DarthOmega - 7/25/2023, 8:10 AM
Has it been confirmed that Cavil left the show because it strayed too far away from the source material? If so, I think that's awesome. Nothing wrong with integrity.
TheyDont - 7/25/2023, 8:22 AM
@DarthOmega - He's a Witcher fan. Imagine what he felt looking at the shit they did.
mastakilla39 - 7/25/2023, 8:51 AM
@DarthOmega - Nah he left the show to do his dream project Warhammer 40K with amazon. If there's something he loves more than Superman and Witcher its Warhammer 40k.

There's rumors about him arguing and clashing with producers over creative changes of the witcher franchise which made a lot of fans side with Cavill. But afterwards rumors of Cavill being verbally abusive and a diva on set dating back towards Man from Uncle and MI Fallout started circulating too. It seems like both parties agreed to keep quiet and not destroy each others reputation or else their dirty laundry is going to go public. Its all hearsay for now.

@DarthOmega - Liam looks photoshopped too, but maybe he bulked up. When I think of him all I see is this...



well, the original video, but I'm too lazy to that much effort in to that.

It's a fun watch, I didn't play the games but just know this: I AM GAY FOR HENRY CAVILL.
Shivermetimbers - 7/25/2023, 9:20 AM
@abd00bie - Haha, I felt the same way when he was cast as Superman.
99OPTIMISTPRIME - 7/25/2023, 9:47 AM
@abd00bie - You mean like, you're really happy for him?
MosquitoFarmer - 7/25/2023, 9:49 AM
@abd00bie - Oh man, don't get me started on his incredible Mission: Impossible - Fallout facial hair.

I enjoyed the latest season way more than prior ones, but this show is typically pretty boring and/or hard to follow...

Except for season 3 pt.1 - it almost felt like a different show entirely.
slickrickdesigns - 7/25/2023, 10:16 AM
Season 1 was great. But I can see why Cavill wasn’t happy with the writing for this show. I haven’t been a fan of season 3 right now but I’ll watch the rest to judge it fairly. But I doubt I’ll watch the show when Hemsworth takes over.
It’s weird that Cavill is good in his roles yet studios don’t like having an actor who cares about the content they’re putting into these productions he’s part of.
Oberlin4Prez - 7/25/2023, 10:24 AM
I’ve read a couple of the books but don’t remember enough to know what all was changed, but this season has been better than last season. I wish I understood more of what was going on behind the scenes to make Cavill leave because he’s very good in the role.
EgoEgor - 7/25/2023, 12:14 PM
@Oberlin4Prez - I wish I understood what was going on in the scenes. Left this show cause it was hard to follow.

Bargain Bin Hemsworth

@DudeGuy - Is that what Liam means in Australia?
