Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: This recap contains spoilers for “The Witcher” Season 3, Part 2, now streaming on Netflix. “The Witcher” fans knew Season 3 would be bittersweet. It’s the final installment of the Netflix fantasy series before Henry Cavill, who has starred as famed monster hunter Geralt of Rivia since Season 1, is replaced by Liam Hemsworth in an unexpected shake-up.
Beginning in Season 4, Hemsworth will be donning Geralt’s swords, Witcher medallions and long, white locks, while the rest of the cast remains intact — except, of course, for those characters who died in Season 3, Part 2’s bloody battles. Since the recasting was announced, fans have been wondering how the switch from Cavill to Hemsworth will happen. Would Hemsworth appear in the Season 3 finale? Would some kind of spell change Geralt’s Cavill-esque appearance into something more Hemsworth-ian? How would Geralt’s relationships with Yennefer (Anya Chalotra), Ciri (Freya Allen) and Jaskier (Joey Batey) be affected? Now that “The Witcher” Season 3, Part 2 is out, let’s take a look at what went down.
Sorry, Hemsworth fans, the only Geralt in the Season 3 finale is played by Cavill, and he gets a “riding off into the sunset” moment as his grand exit from “The Witcher.” After nearly dying during his fight with Vilgefortz (Mahesh Jadu), Geralt recuperates but is separated once again from Yennefer and Ciri. Luckily, he reunites with his pal Jaskier and the two must make their way into Nilfgaard via a toll road. However, this isn’t the same, neutral Geralt who refuses to take a side in politics.

The Witcher season three sees Ciri undergo a significant transformation – but what does it all mean for the future of the Netflix series?Based on the successful fantasy book series and video games of the same name, The Witcher sees Henry Cavill star as a magically super-powered monster hunter (known as a Witcher) who crosses paths with Ciri (Freya Allan), a princess whose untapped magic is sought after by evil monarchs, mages, and monsters.At the end of the third season, the pursuit for Ciri’s magical powers leads to her being stranded in the Korath Desert, where she experiences visions of her parents and Falka (Hiftu Quasem), a legendary elven leader who imparts the knowledge of fire magic.Fans of the books will know that Falka, often dubbed ‘Bloody Falka’, was a princess of Redania, who sought revenge against her father, stepmother and half-siblings after a tumultuous family history.Her rebellion captured Redania but met its demise when expanding into other kingdoms, leading to Falka’s execution.In Ciri’s visions, we learn of a prophecy that suggests a descendant of Falka will bring about the world’s destruction, while one from elf sorceress Lara Dorren’s lineage will be its saviour.While struggling to survive in the desert, Ciri uses her newly acquired fire magic to heal a white unicorn.
