Henry Cavill Cast As Geralt In Netflix’s ‘Witcher’ Series

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cavill is a massive fan of the best-selling fantasy book series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, which have also been adapted into a series of best-selling video games made by CD Projekt Red. This marks Cavill’s first regular TV series role since he played Charles Brandon on four seasons of Showtime’s The Tudors.

Netflix’s The Witcher will be an eight-episode series, with Lauren Schmidt Hissrich (Netflix’s Daredevil and The Defenders) set to serve as showrunner. It’s still in pre-production, so we probably won’t get to see Cavill play the grey-haired swordsman until 2020 at the earliest.
