Personally, I have been saddened ever since it was announced that Henry Cavill was leaving the Netflix Witcher TV series (opens in new tab). Food has lost its taste, music sounds like nothing more than a raucous noise, and every morning I find myself staring at the halfway mark while my coffee cools. I don't know what to do with myself without Gerard, played by Cavil. Perhaps I will seek therapy.

Perhaps not quite so extreme, but it turns out that the show's creators understand my pain, and in an interview with TechRadar (opens in new tab), Witcher showrunner Lauren Hisrich, who is a fan of Cavill's descent She touched on the negative reaction and said that much wailing and gnashing of teeth is completely understandable.

"There are a lot of stories and rumors floating around," Hisrich said, referring to the various theories that have sprung up to explain Cavill's departure, ranging from "he had other projects in the works" to "a long He said they ranged from "tired of waging a secret war (open in new tab)" to "tired of waging a secret war (open in new tab) on behalf of Anjay Sapkowski's original vision. But Hissrich gets it: "We fully understand why fans go there," the showrunner said, noting that Cavill's departure was "a big deal" for the backstage crew.

So while it will be sad to see the PC gaming world's foremost muscle ambassador (I'm second), including the Witcher showrunners, off the screen, Hisrich hopes that Cavill-related disappointment will not spill over to other shows in the series. Obviously (Cavill's) resignation is great news," she says, but encourages fans to return for Season 3 and check out the new series The Witcher: This is for Blood Origin. This is their time in the spotlight."

It is not so surprising that those involved in the production of television shows would still want to be seen, but I was pleased to hear that the creators of "The Witcher" were also surprised by Cavill's departure. It is difficult to see the show picking up again after such a major change, but I suppose it is possible. Nevertheless, fans (open in new tab), critics, showrunners, and even the Geralt actors in the game (open in new tab) are disappointed, and it will take a lot for the Hemsworth-led Witcher to get everyone back on board.
