The Witcher Season 3 Will Be Split In Two

14 Comments | Henry Cavill, Netflix, The witcher, the witcher season 3 | By | | 2 minutes of reading

No sooner does The Witcher finally reunite with his loved ones than he gets split up again — this time by Netflix themselves.

The streamer released a new trailer for the third season of their fantasy hit this morning…and also revealed a staggered release time for it. The Witcher Season 3 will be released as Volume 1 (Episodes 1–5) on June 29, and Volume 2 (Episodes 6–8) on Thursday, July 27. Feels very familiar, doesn’t it? Netflix did the same thing with Stranger Things when it returned during that exact same time last year.

The Witcher has been one of Netflix’s biggest success stories, but that success has been dampened by recent developments. It was revealed that Henry Cavill was leaving the series after this upcoming season, and that in Season 4 Geralt would be played by Liam Hemsworth. It was believed at that time that Cavill was quitting so he could resume playing Superman for the DCU, a role that was unceremoniously dropped a month later. I don’t know what he plans to do with his time now, but maybe he could consider giving The Witcher another thought.

But if this is the last Original Actor season for the series, they might as well stretch it out, right? Scroll on for the trailer and a synopsis.

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.

Another reason he left is this female writer he have creative difference with. he wants the show to follow the books and the games. This female writer wanted her own spin and twists. So Netflix have to choose between the two of them and they stupidly favored the writer.

Netflix must respect its viewers, actors, and the source material. Thank you, Henry, for speaking for all of us. I appreciate watching Henry perform because he is a good actor who speaks up for what he believes in. I couldn't ask for more than what he delivers.

This show has a lot of promise. The setting, mythology, and characters, for example. Only a few other mythologies can match to the one found in the Witcher reality. Because of Netflix, this show has become something it is not. Henry Cavill IS Geralt of Rivia. I admire his professionalism; he voiced his displeasure with what they were doing, finished the season, and then stated, "I'm done." He didn't go on a Twitter rampage or anything like that. Henry and the rest of the cast should do well in the future.

Imagine if HBO acquired The Witcher and decided to stick to the original text while making small changes, as The Last of Us did. People who are not fans of the source material have no right to write adaptations.

Liam Hemsworth is going to have a lot of pressure replacing Henry Cavill.

Henry Cavill's charisma and acting abilities cannot be replaced. Thank you, Henry, for genuinely bringing life to this program. It's unfortunate that Netflix decided not to renew this show. An emotional farewell to a tv program with so much potential

Thank you, Henry, for everything you've done to honor the stuff we all love. Henry, you are a role model for all Witcher fans! Netflix should be ashamed for thinking that was a bad idea! You will be both missed and loved!It's a bittersweet situation. Yes, I'm still excited to see Henry repeat his role as Geralt, but it'll be the last time, and the drama on the set will overshadow my joy.

I'm Proud Henry Cavill has enough respect for the source material to leave this program. It's unfortunate that he had to deal with these directors. I hope and pray that we get a 40K series with him in charge. He appears to be one of the only people in Hollywood who cares about the fans and what they want, rather than just cramming some woke bullshit down their throats. We need more stars like him to speak out about these issues! Netflix, you ruined it.

Good luck to Liam Hemsworth but he will be under so much pressure to fill up the shoes of Henry Cavill who is undeniable charisma and unparalleled acting abilities have certainly left a lasting impression on viewers of the show. It is truly unfortunate that Netflix decided not to renew this program, given its immense potential.
