Why Henry Cavill left 'The Witcher' and how Liam Hemsworth becomes Geralt
October 31, 2025 - In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Lauren Hissrich explained that the conversation about Cavill's "Witcher" future had gone on for some time. "Cavill personally wanted to end his time as Geralt.” · “He had plans for other roles that he really wanted to commit himself to,” Hissrich told the outlet. "And for us, you don’t want to hold someone and force them to be doing something that they don’t want to do. I think that’s why it felt like a really symbiotic decision." Other than to promote the 2023 third season of the series, Cavill hasn't spoken much about his departure since that 2022 Instagram post.

r/netflix on Reddit: Controversial but I don’t see the issue with Liam hemsworth as the Witcher
November 2, 2025 -

I’m just your average watcher, i don’t make reviews and I watch Netflix here and there in my spare time after work and then get on with my life. So I just started season 4 of the Witcher and found out Henry Cavill left and Liam hemsworth is now the Witcher and so far so. I’m enjoying the show. Great suspense, great magic and action scenes. It’s decent, it keeps you entertained which is all I’m looking for. But the reviews? The craziest hate load I’ve seen in a while to a cast change. I honestly don’t get the hate, but yeah that’s all im g onna say.
