With the third season ofThe Witcherinching toward its release, many fans have already deemed this season as the last following Henry Cavill’s exit from the role of Geralt of Rivia after this one. However, not everyone is inclined toward this idea, including Cavill’s costar Mecia Simson, who will be reprising the role of Francesca, as she believesThe Witcheras a show is too big to fail.
However, fans of theMan of Steelstar haven’t been too receptive to the idea of witnessing a new Geralt of Rivia after the 3rd season and have showcased their disagreement with Simson’s statement.

Mecia Simson believes that Henry Cavill’s exclusion will not affectThe Witchermuch
While reflecting on the exclusion ofHenry Cavillfrom the role after the third season, Mecia Simson claimed that it came as a shock to her and everyone else on the team. However, despite being sad after the heartbreaking news, she believes there are more exciting times ahead for the show, asThe Witcheris too big to fail right now. With Liam Hemsworth set to carry the mantle forward, the actress believes that he will do a great job as the new Geralt of Rivia. She stated,
“I was very shocked when I found out because we’ve done three seasons with him. Obviously, it’s sad because it’s an end of an era. But that’s okay. And I think what comes next… there’s going to be more exciting things that are going to happen. I think the show is still going to be great and I feel like we’re grateful that we had the time that we did when we had him.”
But unlike the actress, a substantial portion of the fanbase hasn’t been too optimistic about the show’s future after the third season.

Fans showcased disagreement with Mecia SImson’s statement
Considering one of the alleged reasons behind Henry Cavill’s exit was creative differences withThe Witcher creators, fans aren’t too optimistic about the show’s future without Cavill at the helm. Unlike Simson, a substantial portion of the fandom hasn’t been open to the change in the lead, as theMan of Steelstar was one of the biggest attractions of the show for a substantial portion of fans. And several of them have now showcased their disagreement with the actress’ statement about the show’s future on Twitter.

People turned in for Cavill. There writers room, which openly hates the source material, drove him off because they want to write their own bad fanfiction in its place.
Netflix Witcher is dead on arrival.

Sorry Francesca, but I doubt it, the writers not liking the source material is enough proof that a new season won’t be, necessarily, worth watching, I liked S02 but even with Cavill in it, it wasn’t great, just ok.

The Witcher is dead, and I know these people have to lie to themselves and others, but everyone knows it’s dead. When they put “the message” above the source material, it was the nail in the coffin, like it is for every movie and show that has done the same thing. I’m curious…

I don’t think it will. But it is good she has hope
