Not Only Henry Cavill but This Iconic Actor Is Also Leaving &#8216;The Witcher&#8217; After Season 3

The much-awaited volume 2 of the third season of The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/]is already here. And while the
season has you hooked, take in the role of the characters as you might not see
them soon in the next season. While fans already know all about Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] and his exit post this season,
there are a couple more characters making the exit. As the Geralt of Rivia sets
the stage for his successor, Liam Hemsworth, the three engaging seasons watching
him find his place in the world were worth it. And the next season promises to
be even more exciting, with the promise of The Witcher universe expanding even
more. 

As we bid adieu to the British actor, here is another actor leaving the fantasy
series’ crew.


HENRY CAVILL AND HIS CO-ACTOR LEAVE THE SHOW TOGETHER 

In another heartbreaking news for all those who loved the horses featured on The
Witcher, Redanian Intelligence reported on Twitter that Hector would be leaving
the cast too. Cavill has often taken to Instagram to show off his two horses,
Zeus and Hector. But unfortunately, the upcoming season 4 will not feature
Hector. Cavill leaving the show also meant that the time spent on getting
comfortable and training with the horse came to an end too. And as we see Cavill
departing, Hector took his leave too.

If you have wondered why Geralt calls his horses ‘Roach’ in the show, it is
because of his Polish association. First, the author of the book, Andrzej
Sapkowski, is a Polish author. Hence, the Polish term roach for Geralt’s mare.
And second, it is because of Geralt’s preference for mares (lady horses, in
Cavill’s words) over stallions. The Polish word translates into roach, and
hence, Hector, the roach.

Do not mind the male horses playing the roles, as they play it well! Here is all
we know about Cavill and his two favorite horses. 


THE FAMOUS APPEARANCES OF THE BELOVED ROACHES

The love Cavill has for his Roaches is adorable. Often taking to Instagram to
share snippets from his shoot, he posts pictures of the horses he trains with
after reuniting with them for the start of their filming. Zeus and Hector, the
two roaches, have been making appearances on his page since 2020.

In 2020, the actor introduced the two on Instagram and the association of the
word roach. While Zeus left the show earlier, we see Hector leave the crew after
the third season. Though the production of season 4 seems to be halted
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-after-deadpool-3-season-4-production-of-the-witcher-suffers-a-setback-owing-to-the-sag-aftra-strike/],
the actor who will play the next Roach, if there will be any, has not yet been
announced.
