Fans of Netflix’s The Witcher can look forward to a more faithful adaptation of the works of Andrzej Sapkowski in Season 3. The showrunner, Lauren Hissrich, has hinted that the season will feature a lot of content from the novel Time of Contempt, and it looks like one villain from the novel will be making an appearance. According to Redanian Intelligence, actor Sunny Patel will be playing the assassin Ralf Blunden (also known as “The Professor”) in The Witcher season 3. In the novel, Blunden is after Yennefer and Ciri, and it’s likely that his storyline will play out similarly in the show.

While Netflix has yet to confirm Patel’s casting, Redanian Intelligence has a solid track record when it comes to all things Witcher. Season 3’s release date is also still up in the air, with only a summer 2023 window announced so far. Hopefully, more information will be revealed soon as summer approaches. It’s been confirmed that Season 3 won’t be the final season for The Witcher, but it will be the last for series star Henry Cavill. The actor’s departure from the show was announced last year, with no reason given for his exit. However, it’s no secret that Cavill was frustrated with the series’ lack of faithfulness to the source material.
It would be ironic if the upcoming season finally addresses this complaint, but fans shouldn’t expect to see Cavill return, regardless. Despite this, it’s rumored that Season 3 will give Geralt a heroic sendoff. It’s exciting to hear that The Witcher Season 3 will draw more from the novels, as the show has taken some liberties with the source material in the past. While some changes have been well-received, others have been controversial. The addition of Blunden is sure to add some tension and excitement to the upcoming season, as he’s a formidable adversary in the novels.
It’s also worth noting that The Witcher has become one of Netflix’s most popular original series, with a massive fanbase eagerly awaiting each new season. While the series has faced some production setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems that the team is working hard to deliver a satisfying third season. Fans of the series can rest assured that there are still plenty of adventures to come in the world of The Witcher.
As for Henry Cavill, it’s unclear what his next move will be after leaving the series. However, he’s a talented actor with a devoted following, so it’s safe to say that he won’t be out of work for long. It’s also possible that he may return to the role of Geralt in some capacity in the future, whether it’s in another adaptation of the books or in a video game. For now, fans can look forward to seeing him in his final season of The Witcher, which is sure to be an emotional and action-packed ride.
