The Witcher: Season 3 official trailer #2

Anya Chalotra, who plays Yennefer of Vengerberg  from Netflix’s fantasy drama The Witcher has spoken about her hopes for chemistry with Henry Cavill’s replacement.

The third series, which is currently streaming, is Henry’s last and Hunger Games star, Liam Hemsworth, is set to take over as the character of Geralt going forward.

With the relationship between Yennifer and Geralt one of the show’s big draws obviously his departure has a ripple effect for Anya.

She recently shared that she hasn’t met her new co-star yet but said she thinks “Liam will be brilliant” although she is yet to speak to him.

Asked if she thinks him stepping into the role will affect the fans relationship to the characters and their chemistry, Anya pointed out how long they are together.

“The chemistry. Yeah, that. I know their relationship means a lot to people who love the books.

“It’s also just so complex, and, in every stage, there’s something else to be found. I mean, they’re 100-odd years old, and they’re still going [laughs].

“They still love each other. There’s something there,” she told Digital Spy.

Anya has faith in her new co-star saying: “He’s going to be brilliant. I really think so.

“I mean, we’ve spent five years going on this journey together, and…bringing in new people to this journey we’re on is so exciting at this stage,” she enthused.

Anya recently revealed to Variety that she didn’t know of Henry’s plans to depart the show until after they had finished filming the current season.

“We didn’t know until after we’d filmed season three. It’s always emotional filming at the end of any season — you know, that last scene you do with the people that you’ve worked with for eight months.

“It’s always like, “Aw,” but you live in that moment. And we didn’t know till post filming.”

She continued: “I think we will all feel that loss. He’s been with us since day one. We’ve been through a lot together.”

Seasons 1, 2 and 3, of the Witcher are now streaming on Netflix. Spin-off The Witcher: Blood Origin is also available to stream on Netflix.
