It's been done. Removed Henry Cavill from it.
The Witcher series (Netflix)

It's not the first series that has replaced the lead actor and sometimes it works out fine: Spartacus is a good example of that. Plus it happens all the time in film franchises without anyone caring much. If the new actor is good, the writing is good, and the production is good then it should be good regardless of changing actor.
I'm not sure I have much confidence in those provisos panning out but we shall see.
Liam Hemsworth will not be as good as Henry Cavill in terms of portrayal and respect for the role. I'll bet my nuts on that. It's not that I even think Hemsworth is a bad actor, but Cavill was so good at bringing Geralt to the screen he IS the Witcher. It's like Arnie is The Terminator, or Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones.
The writing is not good, and can't see it getting better the more they stray from the source.
The production will be top class, but a waste if the first two are lacking.

The show is done once Giga Chad leaves. It wasn't exactly breaking any records as it stands and parts of season 2 were a bit meh so unless Hemsworth is planning on living and breathing the witcher universe for the next few years it's toast.
The reasons Cavill left are the things that sucked. Fix those and all of the problems go away!

There's another season of Cavill though.He already has gone.
Also, why are people so nonchalant abut the main characters actor changing? The Witcher isn't Doctor Who. The show is done, if it wasn't already.
At least the first one was alright.
but you know they arent going to be doing that. If anything now Cavill is gone, they will just double down now.
I did not like the replacement, didn’t think he was a patch on the original actor, Andy Whitfield (rip)
That's the sad thing. They really won't take the hint.
totally agree, looks wise the guy just looked flabby compared to all the others
Obviously, he wasn't just looked like he didn't put as much effort into getting as ripped as the other guys. Season's 2 and 3 weren't a patch on the 1st season or the prequal Gods of the Arena for me.

Anytime Cavil isn't in a scene this show is absolutely painful to watch, since he's a superfan it's hardly surprising he's had enough of the trash that's being produced thats been taking a huge dump on the source material.He already has gone.
