‘The Witcher’ Season 3 Volume 1 Trailer: Henry Cavill’s Final Monster Hunt Begins This Month

This is going to be very interesting how the third season of The Witcher plays out. With star Henry Cavill playing Geralt of Rivera for the final time before being replaced by Liam Hemsworth next season, will fans continue to be as wild about the show? Or will they begin fleeing in droves to show dissatisfaction with the change?

I’m not going to pretend to know squat about this show. I don’t. Cavill fights monsters. Carries a big sword. Hangs out with princesses. Here’s the synopsis:

As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where they hope to uncover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line – or risk losing each other forever.

Volume one of The Witcher season three hits Netflix on June 29th, with Volume two on July 27th. The season runs for eight total episodes.
