By CAROLYN JENKINS

“The Witcher's” Henry Cavill is retiring as Geralt and being replaced by Liam Hemsworth, sparking a shift in the series' focus and character dynamics, especially in regards to Ciri.

Ciri, portrayed by Freya Allan, gains prominence in Season 3, with a narrative centered on her evolution into a powerful leader and her mastery of the sword and mystical arts.

The producers of the show told Yahoo News that season 3 follows the plot of the novel “The Time of Contempt,” which they say is when Ciri transitions into the role of protagonist.

The producers hinted at dramatic changes for the franchise’s future, triggered by the unfolding narrative and Ciri's influential character arc.

As Ciri matures, she faces new challenges, particularly from Emhyr, whose undisclosed plans could pose a severe threat to her development and safety.
