The third season of Netflix’s The Witcher will serve as Geralt of Rivia’s hero’s goodbye as his exploits are about to come to an end. Showrunner and series creator Lauren Hissrich has intervened to reassure fans that season 3 would provide “the most heroic sendoff” for the adored actress as its debut in Summer 2023 approaches day by day.
Henry has contributed significantly to the show, so we want to adequately acknowledge that, Hissrich told EW. What makes season 3 so intriguing is that, in my opinion, it is the closest thing to a direct adaptation of the books that we have yet to produce. We obviously can’t cover every page, but Time of Contempt brought us a lot of exciting action scenes, plot twists, character-defining moments, and big evil reveal. Since there is so much to do, we were able to adhere really strictly to the books.
The second novel in the Witcher series by author Andrzej Sapkowski, Time of Contempt, was partially adapted for the third season’s plot. Following the events of the first book, Blood of Elves, it enters the political and interracial conflict realms.
“Geralt’s dramatic pivot is about giving up neutrality and doing anything he has to do to get to Ciri,” the writer-producer continued. Even if it wasn’t intended to be that way, in my opinion, it’s the most valiant send-off we could have. When we revisit Geralt in season 4, he has a new purpose in mind. He resembles Geralt a little less than we had anticipated.
That’s an understatement, by the way, ate in October, when it was also revealed that he would reprise his role as Superman in upcoming DC Universe (DCU) movies, Cavill first revealed his intention to leave the Netflix series. However, the actor’s happiness was short-lived when he met with new DC Studios executives James Gunn and Peter Safran and learned that he wouldn’t be coming back as the Last Son of Krypton. Instead, the pair’s 10-year game plan was revealed to include a young Superman movie.

This chaotic series of events won’t affect the streamer’s intentions to replace Cavill for The Witcher Season 4, giving him a double blow. Additionally, Hissrich stated that there are currently no official plans to give him a position on-screen or behind-the-scenes, adding, “We haven’t even thought about that at this moment.” Fortunately, everything has worked out for the actor, who is currently preparing for his upcoming project: an Amazon series adaption of Warhammer 40K.
