Cavill, known for his portrayal of the silver-haired monster-hunter from Andrzej Sapkowski's novel series, will be departing the role after three seasons. Liam Hemsworth has been chosen to take on the role of Geralt in future seasons. In an interview with Yahoo! News, Gaub praised Cavill's performance in the final season. He assured viewers that the team behind the series made sure that Cavill's last episodes would have a significant impact and allow the actor to exit the series on a high note. Read Gaub's complete response below.

Henry had a remarkably powerful season, delivering an exceptional portrayal of Geralt in his final performance. Our primary goal was to ensure his immense pride in those concluding scenes. Undoubtedly, these concluding moments tend to resonate most with the audience, and it is in these last few episodes that Henry truly shines.

He left confidently, relinquishing control in a manner similar to many franchises that pass the torch of a title character to a different actor. Rest assured, we are confident that Liam will do an excellent job and we eagerly anticipate the fresh interpretations of Geralt with a new individual at the helm, a new actor gracing the role.
