Fans thought they had seen the last of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, but the ex-Superman has one more season of witch hunting to deliver. Just in, we have a new teaser for the third season of The Witcher on Netflix, and it promises some more mature fantasy that’s signature to the Witcher brand.
Check this out:
Just like with Stranger Things, it looks like Netflix wants to extend Cavill’s Witcher run by even a little, and they’ve split his last season in two. Though fans had thought that Netflix’s model of dropping the entire season on Day One was unique at first, there has been a realization that shows tend to stay in the online conversation longer when they’re dropped every week. Just compare the buzz of The Last of Us and House of the Dragon to a release like Wednesday.
Going back to Witcher though, Cavill’s replacement has already been announced to be Liam Hemsworth. We don’t know how Netflix has decided to make that transition, but some speculate that they could be ending Geralt’s arc with Yennefer and Ciri with this season; and Season 4 would mark a new beginning with a new face for Geralt.
I was actually guessing that they would move the spotlight to an adult Ciri, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
The Witcher Season 3 Vol. 1 drops on Netflix on June 29, and Vol. 2 comes out July 27.
