The Witcher season 3 (opens in new tab) will be Henry Cavill’s last hurrah on the show, and that makes us sad. But at least he’ll be going out in style, according to showrunner Lauren Hissrich, who told Entertainment Weekly (opens in new tab) that the upcoming season will give him an appropriately « heroic sendoff. »
