Henry Cavill is no longer Geralt. The actor has bid farewell to Netflix's The Witcher, and another artist has taken his place.
Henry Cavill's exit from The Witcher Season 4 has been one of the biggest controversies for the global streamer Netflix.
The Witcher Season 4 release date is October 30, 2025, on Netflix. All eight episodes will drop worldwide simultaneously. The season features Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia, replacing Henry Cavill.
Cavill is a well-known fanboy of The Witcher books and games, and he often said he wanted the series to stay faithful to Andrzej Sapkowski’s source material. It was rumored that he left due to creative differences, though he never confirmed or denied the chatter.
The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich praised Liam Hemsworth, subtly digging at Cavill. See what she said about the replacement.
