5 Biggest Predictions for Henry Cavill's Geralt in The Witcher Season 3

As hard as it might be to believe, it's already been four years since Netflix's The Witcher, based on Andrzej Sapkowski's eponymous book series, began captivating viewers in the dim and distant 2019. The show follows the charismatic monster-slayer Geralt of Rivia and adheres to a biennial release schedule, in line with Netflix's tradition.

As such, it's time for the third season, slated to premiere on 29 June. Given the epic events that unfolded at the end of season 2, we anticipate that Geralt will face many challenges in the upcoming instalment.

Here are five key predictions for what is likely in store for the monster slayer.

1. He will reunite with Yennifer.

If the show's complex timeline has left you somewhat perplexed, here's a reminder: Geralt and Yennefer once shared a passionate romance before the main events of the series unfolded. Although they lost contact later, the pair are expected to reunite in the third season, hopefully as a couple.

2. He will guide and protect Ciri.

Having somewhat recklessly claimed the young princess as a trophy, Geralt is now obliged to protect her. After a series of misadventures resulted in their separation, they reunited at the end of the second season. Geralt now has the task of protecting the princess, who also happens to be a formidable sorceress, and guiding her as she learns to control her powers.

3. He will have to address the coup of wizards.

In the world of The Witcher, a guild of wizards maintains order. However, the organisation was thrown into disarray in season 2 after an internal coup that now threatens to plunge their entire realm into chaos. It's almost certain that Geralt will be affected by this upheaval.

4. He will face the wrath of elves.

As if the world's plethora of monsters weren't threat enough, the elves hold a deep-seated grudge against humans and plan to eradicate human realms from the face of the Earth. The monster slayer will have to take steps to prevent this impending catastrophe.

5. He will have a nice farewell storyline.

For months now, it's been known that Henry Cavill, who portrays the titular character, will be leaving the show after the upcoming third season. Accordingly, we expect his character, Geralt, to be given a poignant farewell storyline that does not impede the future of The Witcher.
