The Witcher fans have threatened to boycott the show after a shock change of cast.
Henry Cavill, who stars as Geralt of Rivia, confirmed that he is taking a break from the hit series to focus on his role as Superman.
Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth has been announced as his replacement - but viewers aren't impressed.
Some were so upset over the switch up that they have suggested the show may as well just be cancelled.
Henry will continue to play his character in the upcoming third season, before he hands the baton over to Liam for series four.
"The f***!!! DON’T REPLACE HENRY CAVILL! HE IS GERALT! HE KNOWS HIS CHARACTER MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE!” wrote one outraged fan.
“DON,T REPLACE HIIM WITH LIAM HEMSWORTH. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I will so boycott The Witcher if they really replace him. How can you replace him?”
“Alright we boycott The Witcher,” someone else wrote. “Actually so livid. BOYCOTT THE WITCHER,” added another.
“No offense to Liam Hemsworth but I gotta agree not sure I have any interest in a Witcher Series without Henry Cavill,” another fan wrote.
Even comedian Frankie Boyle put his opinion out, adding: "I don’t know that I can handle Witcher going from being s*** in a good way to s*** in a s*** way.”
After the news of his departure was announced, Henry released a heartfelt statement.
“My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season four,” he wrote.
“In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf.
"As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men.
“Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find,” he added.

Liam also spoke about the news of his new role, acknowledging the big boots he had to fill: "As a Witcher fan I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia.
"Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honoured that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure.
"Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world," he finished.
