Thematically, this season will deal with Geralt’s neutral stance that we’ve seen in the past two seasons. But because everyone is after Ciri, “That changes his entire perspective on things,” Cavillpreviously revealed. He explained, “Geralt has seen how politics work out. A lot of it’s incredibly selfish. No matter which side anyone’s on, they’re doing the thing for them. He’s like, ‘Why would I pick a side when the same thing’s going to happen?’” But his love for Ciri and his need to protect her will push him to see things differently for once.
