The Witcher season 3 volume 2 marks the end of the road for Henry Cavill’s Geralt ahead of his imminent replacement with Liam Hemsworth. Since the news was announced last year, the actor has never explicitly said why he was leaving the show.
Of course, that hasn’t stopped speculation (see our handy breakdown of all of the rumors here) that it was allegedly to do with the show not adhering to Andrzej Sapkowski’s source material as religiously as Cavill had wanted. Now one of the writers on the series has defended the show’s fidelity to the books on Twitter, as well as teasing that there’s more going on behind-the-scenes than fans are aware of.
