When it became clear that Cavil would not be returning, Hemsworth’s name was put forward for consideration, according to the showrunner of The Witcher.
“His name has been out there for a very long time,” Hissrich said to Entertainment Tonight.
The invitation to portray Geralt, according to Hemsworth, “came out of nowhere” and left him “as surprised as anyone.”
In addition, Hissrich acknowledged that Cavill’s exit was decided upon by both parties and that there had been no discussion or “serious conversations about the show not continuing” up to this point.
“The show is bigger than one actor,” the showrunner said. It surpasses me in size. There are video games and book series. The third party to enter here is us.
