The Witcher Season 3 Images Preview Henry Cavill's Final Geralt Run

With Season 3 Volume 1 hitting on June 29th, here are some preview images from Henry Cavill's final run on Netflix's The Witcher.

By now, fans of Netflix's live-action series adaptation of The Witcher know that this summer is going to bring a ton of change for Henry Cavill's Geralt, Anya Chalotra's Yennefer, and Freya Allan's Ciri. So much so that (SPOILER!) something traumatic will happen this Cavill will be forced to become… Liam Hemsworth?! Okay, we're just having a little fun with that last part, but the fact that this will be Cavill's final run as Geralt before Hemsworth takes over is very real. So to help give viewers a better sense of what they can expect when the streaming series returns in June, we have some preview images from the third season to pass along (followed by a look back at the previously-released teaser & key art):

With Volume 1 of the third season (and Cavill's final) set to hit screens on June 29th (and Volume 2 set for July 27th), here's a look at an official teaser trailer for Netflix's The Witcher (followed by some previous thoughts from series creator & showrunner Lauren Hissrich regarding what's to come):

Hissrich explained to EW that even though the upcoming season wasn't written with Cavill's departure in mind, the actor will see a "heroic sendoff" during his final run. In addition, Hissrich drops a tease about how this season impacts Geralt in such a way that it sets up a "new mission" for him in the fourth season. "Henry [Cavill] has given so much to the show, and so we want to honor that appropriately," Hissrich explained. "What is so interesting is that season 3, to me, is the closest thing that we've done as a one-to-one adaptation of the books," she added, referring to the season's partial adaptation of Time of Contempt. "Obviously, we can't do every page, but 'Time of Contempt' gave us so many big action events, plot points, defining character moments, huge reveals of a big bad. There's so much to do that we were able to stick really, really closely with the books."

And that means a number of opportunities for Cavill's Geralt to further grow as a character while setting up what's to come in the Hemsworth-starring fourth season. "Geralt's big turn is about giving up neutrality and doing anything that he has to do to get to Ciri. And to me, it's the most heroic sendoff that we could have, even though it wasn't written to be that. Geralt has a new mission in mind when we come back to him in season 4. He's a slightly different Geralt than we expected. Now, by the way, that's an understatement," Hissrich added.
