Joey Batey steals the show whenever he’s on as Jaskier in Netflix’s The Witcher, and his chemistry with Henry Cavill’s titular Geralt of Rivia is one of those rare match-ups that work despite every reason pointing to the contrary. So, with all of that to consider, how is the actor taking the news that his co-star of more than four years is leaving the show mid-flight?
The Witcher fans have yet to come to terms with Henry Cavill leaving the show, let alone Liam Hemsworth coming in to fill his shoes from season 4 onward. With the fandom already on the fence after the writers deviated from the source material in season 2 — and rumors hinting that Cavill opted out for this very reason — the live-action adaptation is walking on a razor-thin edge and ready to crumble at every moment.
