    • Trivia
      Henry Cavill's training for the role consisted of extensive sword-training (besides the rigorous bodybuilding required to prepare his physique for the camera). He said, "I spent all of my free time, and when I wasn't on set, with a sword in my hand. It was getting used to the weight of the sword, using it day in and day out. I had three swords where I lived, and four at work. And it was just non-stop practice, practice, practice."

    When Cavill leaves I will not be watching!
    As an audience, we have a voice. If we don't watch Hollywood will change. To see an actor of Cavill's caliber, who also loves the source materials openly leave the show because of crappy writing and the inability of the show runners to let go and just use the source materials is a real shame. Just like I'm not watching the crap shows marvel is pushing out right now, I will not be watching the Witcher once Mister Cavill leaves. We as an audience have got to start using the little power we have by not even watching the garbage these huge studios are pushing out. Just because it's there doesn't mean it's worth a damn. Feel bad for Mister Cavill, especially after him saying this is his dream role, sorry mate, the fans stand with you!

    FAQ6

    • Is 'The Witcher' based on the books or the video game?
    • Will the show feature the same kind of content(mostly nudity, profanity. Violence doesn't concern me) as 'Game of Thrones'? Or will it be more tame?
    • Why does Geralt carry only one sword on his back?
