The Witcher showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich has finally broken her silence on Henry Cavill's departure from the Netflix show.

"He had plans for other roles that he really wanted to commit himself to," Hissrich said in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. "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."
