Henry Cavill’s exit from Netflix’s The Witcher sent shockwaves through fans who had championed his portrayal of Geralt of Rivia. The final episodes of Season 3, released last July, served as his swan song. While the season delivered its share of epic battles, it struggled to fully redeem itself—much like the decision to split it into two parts. Cavill’s departure left fans asking one big question: why did he leave The Witcher at its peak?
Here’s the tea: Netflix confirmed Cavill’s exit in October 2022, dropping the bombshell that Liam Hemsworth would take up Geralt’s iconic swords in Season 4. Cavill, who passionately campaigned for the role long before the series even had a script, announced his departure just as he teased a return to his Superman cape. But Hollywood’s gears had other plans.
