When The Witcher goes into its fourth season, we'll see Liam Hemsworth in the lead role. The brother of Marvel star Chris Hemsworth is best known for the "Hunger Games" series, but was also seen in "The Expendables 2" and "Independence Day 2". In a statement about the personnel change, Hemsworth describes himself as a "'Witcher' fan". He was "honored" that Cavill, who was "an incredible Geralt", was appointing him as his successor.
It has not been announced why Henry Cavill is so surprisingly leaving the "The Witcher" series. The actor only announced in a statement that he was laying down his swords for season four. He's looking forward to seeing what Liam Hemsworth does with the character. Here's his full statement for you.
HENRY CAVILL'S FULL FAREWELL OPINION
“My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with monsters and dangers and sadly I will be laying down my medal and swords for season four. In my place, the fantastic Liam Hemsworth will take over the mantle of the White Wolf. As is customary with the greatest of literary figures, I pass the torch with awe at the time I've spent impersonating Geralt and excitement to see what Liam will make of this intriguing and most nuanced of men becomes. Dear Liam, there is a such wonderful depth to this character, have fun diving into it and see what you find.

NO TIME FOR THE WITCHER AFTER THE SUPERMAN COMEBACK?
With regard to the reasons for parting, one can currently only speculate. The conclusion, of course, is that Henry Cavill no longer has time in his busy schedule for the extensive filming of the entire "The Witcher" seasons - especially with the latest developments. He is now back as Superman at DC, where he is supposed to be part of several film projects. This may not be compatible with "The Witcher", especially since Cavill has many other film roles. It's just been announced that he's starring in Guy Ritchie's new action thriller.
In any case, it has already been leaked that Cavill originally only signed a contract for three seasons, so it was now in his power not to extend it and to devote himself to other tasks.
So while DC fans are cheering Cavill's comeback, The Witcher fans are slowly saying goodbye to him. But before that, they see their star again. The third season of "The Witcher" - still with Henry Cavill - is scheduled to come to Netflix in the summer of 2023.
