The information comes from an interview with The Witcher‘s showrunner, Lauren Hissrich, and Entertainment Weekly. Hissrich promises that season three will have as much of a heroic sendoff as they can for Cavill’s Geralt as they usher in season four’s adaption of the character, played by Liam Hemsworth.

Hissrich continued to share that season three would be the most faithful the show has been to the book series to date, although they could not make everything one-for-one. Fans can look forward to experiencing a renewed Geralt for season four, outside of his appearance, as he finds a new mission to drive him forward following the events in season three.

The Witcher season three is set to release sometime later next year, during summer 2023. While fans of the series await Cavill’s final time playing Geralt, they can continue playing the recently released Next-Gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and on PC. Although the PC versions came with a handful of bugs, developer CD Projekt Red has been steadily ironing it out, and fans have been eager to return to the series.
