Henry Cavill announced he was leaving Netflix's "The Witcher" back in 2022. Three years later, here's the why, and how Liam Hemsworth replaces him.

"The Witcher" became an instant hit with fans, as Cavill seemed to fit into the role of Geralt in a way that nobody could have imagined. The high fantasy series became a huge talking point in the first season, with many praising the adored actor in his portrayal of the beloved novel and video game character.

The Witcher' boss Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich explains all the Season 4 deaths, Ciri's love interest and what to expect in the final season.

By the time the Season 4 finale “Baptism of Fire” arrives, that transformation is complete. Geralt realizes his childhood dream only to find it hollow. Ciri loses the last of her innocence. Yennefer stands among the ashes of Montecalvo, gathers what remains of a broken order, then walks into a storm to face the man who destroyed it.

Instead of the season's final episode being the reason why my jaw hit the floor, it was season 4 episode 5. Just when we think we've got our heads around the ever-growing Witcher lore, we're thrown the ultimate creative curveball at the halfway mark.

The Witcher Season 4 ends with Geralt and his friends helping a bunch of Northern soldiers defeat Nilfgaardian troops. To honor his heroism, Queen Meve (Rebecca Hanssen) knights our guy Sir Geralt of Rivia. However, this gift soon becomes a curse as Meve adds that Geralt must serve her and only her for the rest of his life. Geralt says, “Fuck.”

Here is what you need to remember from Netflix's "The Witcher" Season 3 before jumping in to a binge of Season 4

Liam Hemsworth does a fine job taking over for Henry Cavill on The Witcher, but uneven writing makes season 4 the weakest entry in the franchise so far.
