Apparently Henry Cavill is leaving the Witcher because the producers are straying from the original idea of the character. Cavill seems to be a legit fan of the character and that comes through in his acting. I enjoyed the series and his acting. There is a petition to Netflix saying they are screwing up (again), should get rid of the writers and director and keep Cavill. If you're interested in signing the link is below.
"Henry isn’t leaving The Witcher because of Superman, Netflix executives have once again made a grave decision against delivering for their fans. The reason why The Witcher is such a popular show is the fans’ love of the source material of books and games, that are hated by and have actively been mocked by the writers and showrunner. Henry Cavill is one of those big fans, he knows all of it inside out and wanted to stay true to Sapkowski’s world, which is why Netflix wants to replace him."
