While the transition from Henry Cavill to Liam Hemsworth as Geralt in Netflix’s The Witcher series might sound jarring, the show’s executive producer believes it will be “quite flawless.”
Speaking with Yahoo UK, executive producer Tomek Baginski opened up about the monumental change for The Witcher. He mentioned they have “a very, very good plan to introduce our new Geralt.” In October, Cavill revealed he was leaving The Witcher after the upcoming third season, replaced by The Hunger Games star Hemsworth.
Baginski added that the switch will be “very lore accurate” to the novels. “Not going deeply into those ideas because this will be a huge spoiler, [but] it’s also very, very close to the meta ideas which are deeply embedded in the books, especially in book five,” Baginski said.
