If The Witcher goes for seven seasons, Henry Cavill will be there

Henry Cavill is down to reprise his role as Geralt of Rivia in the Witcher for seven seasons, The Hollywood Reporter  reported Wednesday.

Before The Witcher  even premiered, showrunner Lauren Hissrich  claimed she’d written seven seasons’ worth of stories. That means a whole lot more Geralt, naturally! Thankfully Cavill is up to the task of donning a particular silver wig when and if the time comes.

“Absolutely,” Cavill said via The Hollywood Reporter. “As long as we can keep telling great stories which honor [author Andrzej] Sapkowski’s work.”

The Witcher Season 2 is coming on Dec. 17 and you can check out a trailer for it below.

Cavill is a huge fan of The Witcher video games by CD Project  as well. In fact, that adoration is what made him so eager to go after the part of Geralt in Netflix’s adaptation.

“I pursued, pursued, pursued,” Cavill said via The Hollywood Reporter. “A couple months after they had gone through their casting process, my agent called and said, ‘They’ve asked you do an audition — you don’t have to do this.’ I’m like, ‘I’ll do it.’ They said, ‘Really? Are you sure?’ I said, ‘Of course. It’s The Witcher.'”

That last comment is pure gold.
