On: October 30, 2022
Netflix has introduced through its official web site that Henry Cavill is out as Geralt of Rivia, with Witcher protagonist recast as Liam Hemsworth for the newly-announced Season 4 and (presumably) past.

Cavill beforehand took a break from filming The Witcher Season 3 to make a cameo within the recently-released Black Adam.
