Henry Cavill won't be leaving quietly. The star of Netflix's The Witcher, who announced his departure from the series in October, will be getting a sendoff to rival the Continent's royals, according to showrunner Lauren Hissrich. The writer-producer explained that since the upcoming season three – Cavill's last as Geralt of Rivia – is based nearly "one-to-one" on author Andrzej Sapkowski's Time of Contempt book, the plotline was a natural fit for a big goodbye. "Henry has given so much to the show and so we want to honour that appropriately," Hissrich shared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Hissrich also added that when Geralt returns in season four with Liam Hemsworth in the role, the character will have a "new mission in mind" and be "slightly different" from what fans might expect – which she quipped is an "understatement" because of the recasting. Cavill announced he would be leaving the series in a heartfelt Instagram post, writing, "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 4."
