Henry Cavill will officially leave The Witcher TV project after the third season ends. And Netflix has also quickly found a replacement to continue the story of the monster hunter Geralt of Rivia, which is Liam Hemsworth. However, this is not a random choice, because 4 years ago, Liam almost got this role.
According to Redanian Intelligence, a news site that specializes in synthesizing all information related to the Witcher universe, said: In 2018, Liam Hemsworth participated in the audition process for the role of Geralt. The actor born in 1990 was even considered a strong candidate and was very popular with the production team at that time. However, after all, they felt that Henry Cavill was more suitable.
Liam Hemsworth, the younger brother of “Thor god” Chris Hemsworth, was a strong candidate for the role of Geralt 4 years ago.
In case you didn’t know, Henry Cavill went through quite a journey to become Geralt of Rivia on the small screen. The actor is a die-hard fan of The Witcher.
So, as soon as he heard that Netflix was developing an adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels, Henry immediately contacted them to ask for an audition. The problem was that at that time, Netflix hadn’t even finished the script for their project, and of course, no auditions could take place.
Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, before the first season of The Witcher officially aired, producer Lauren Hissrich said that 207 other actors had auditioned for the role of Geralt. However, after all, she decided to give Henry a chance because she was so impressed with the actor’s voice. Lauren emphasized that she “closed the deal” immediately after witnessing Henry’s audition in New York.
His impressive voice and passion for the Witcher universe helped Henry Cavill beat 207 other competitors, including Liam Hemsworth.
So, according to the latest information from Redanian Intelligence, Liam Hemsworth is one of 207 other actors who once hoped to become the TV version of Geralt. It is unclear how far Liam got into the audition process, but he is also a name that left a good impression on Lauren Hissrich and other producers of The Witcher.
Currently, The Witcher season 3 is in post-production to air in mid-2023. Meanwhile, Netflix has “green-lit” both seasons 4 and 5, the 2 seasons will be filmed in parallel and are expected to start airing in late 2024.

This is why, after Henry Cavill decided to leave the project, Netflix did not recast the role of Geralt. Instead, they contacted Liam Hemsworth to negotiate the deal while the third season was still in the process of filming.
