Henry Cavill Left The Witcher for This Reason

Last year in October, Henry Cavill announced that he would not be reprising the lead character of Geralt of Rivia after the third season of the Netflix series, The Witcher.

Henry Cavill is known to be a big fan of The Witcher game series and the book series and said that he wanted to be faithful to the source material. Many reports also claimed that the British actor left the popular show due to the writers disrespecting the source material for The Witcher.

While nothing is confirmed as of now, the showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has shared that she and Cavill had different approaches for the future of the series.

This passion for the series even influenced the way he portrayed the character of Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix adaptation. He went as far as to adopt a distinct accent to further establish the character of Geralt of Rivia and regularly insisted that the show should stay true to the source material.

And now Cavill himself is steering the wheel to not let the writers butcher the lore.
