The Witcher Season 3 Part 2 Trailer

Princess Cirilla is the most popular girl in the world. Everyone wants a piece of her, which is a problem for Geralt of Rivia, self-appointed guardian and adopted father. Keeping your kid safe is hard enough in an enchanted world full of monsters, but when she’s destined to reshape the entirety of society, and everyone from high kings to lowly poopsmiths is aware of that, options for keeping her safe are thin.

Netflix split the new season of The Witcher in half, premiering the first five episodes last month and saving the remaining three for the end of July. What we got out of those five was mostly setup, with Ciri trying to reach the fortress of Aretuza for further training. Apparently in Season 3B she will finally make it there, but of course, it won’t be what she expected. Never is.

As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where they hope to uncover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line, or risk losing each other forever.

After this, Geralt will face his biggest challenge ever: retaining his audience after his original actor leaves the show. Henry Cavill, who’s really been great in the role, is departing The Witcher with Liam Hemsworth taking his place. Producers have hinted there may be an in-universe reason for his appearance change, and, uh, I’d prefer they not go that route. There’s no explanation that wouldn’t be ridiculous.

The final shot of this trailer implies Geralt “dies,” so maybe Yen goes “Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo!” and transports his spirit into a new body, that of Hemsworth. It’s dumb, but can you think of anything better? Enjoy your last three Cavill-filled episodes of The Witcher starting July 27.

What a shame Henry Cavill is quitting The Witcher, especially if it's due to creative disputes with the game's creator, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. It's upsetting to believe that there were hidden disagreements that contributed to this choice. As a lover of the original material, I'm disappointed to hear that Hissrich may not be honoring it and may be taking liberties that could harm the program. I hope the producers and creative team address these concerns and find a solution to respect the story's integrity while retaining outstanding cast members like Cavill.

Super upset with obnoxious uber woke writers like Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and her power tripping, which makes me reconsider supporting the writer's strike. It's upsetting to see a writer who doesn't appear to respect or take the original material seriously, hence damaging the show for die-hard fans. If this is the type of creative decision-making we're seeing, it's difficult to rally behind the authors' cause when their work lacks the quality and integrity we expect. Overall, it's a depressing situation, and it makes me reassess my position on the writer's strike.

It's really sad to hear that Henry Cavill is leaving The Witcher and won't be playing Superman anymore. But you know what? I think he would have been an awesome choice to be the next James Bond. Dude is British, He's got the looks, the charm, and the action skills to pull it off. It's a shame he won't get the chance, but I'm sure he'll find another cool project to show off his talents. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for what he does next.

Not sure if I'll continue watching The Witcher after Henry Cavill leaves. His portrayal of Geralt was one of the primary reasons I became so engrossed in the series, and it simply won't be the same without him. It's depressing to watch him leave famous characters like Superman and now Geralt behind, and I'm left wondering if the show can continue to be of high quality without him.

The Witcher without Cavill is like watching Wednesday without Jenna Ortega.

I will watch this because this will be Cavill's last time as Geralt after that Thor's discount brother will take over.

Netflix should seriously reconsider their decision and replace The Witcher's showrunner. Henry Cavill's portrayal of Geralt has clearly won over fans' hearts, and his passion to the character is apparent. It's upsetting to see that when disagreements emerged, they chose to side with Lauren Hissrich rather than give Cavill the power he deserves. Fans plainly favor Cavill's portrayal, and it's unfortunate that Hissrich's selections may have a detrimental impact on the program. To recapture the alchemy that has made the show so successful, Netflix should prioritize Cavill's engagement and ensure that he has a big influence in the show's trajectory. Hissrich, the witch, has to go.

I'm incredibly disappointed and upset to learn that Henry Cavill is leaving The Witcher. He brought so much depth and authenticity to the character of Geralt, and it's truly disheartening to see him go. Personally, I find it difficult to accept Liam Hemsworth as his replacement due to the fact that he cheated on his wife, and I firmly believe that giving a platform to individuals who have betrayed their partners sends the wrong message and goes against my principles. It's important for us as viewers to demand better and support actors who align with our values and demonstrate integrity in their personal lives.
