Henry Cavill has indicated that he’s committed to The Witcher for the long-haul, and is willing to see the hit fantasy Netflix show’s seven-year plan through to the very end.
Back in 2019, The Witcher showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich confirmed that she’s got the first seven seasons of the show all mapped out.

"I've [mapped out stories] for seven seasons,” she explained. "Right now it's just about, 'How do you set up stories that really capture audiences for years at a time?' The worst thing we could do is put all of our energies just into season one, and not be thinking about where these characters can grow to."
It’s unclear if there’s any potential for the show to continue beyond that seventh season, or which book in Andrzej Sapkowski’s original Witcher novels that would take us up to. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The Witcher’s second season hasn’t even hit Netflix yet, after all. Still, it’s good to know Cavill is along for the ride… on one condition: the stories have to continue to honour the source material.
When asked about Hissrich’s vision of keeping The Witcher running for seven seasons, Cavill told The Hollywood Reporter that he’s “absolutely” committed. “As long as we can keep telling great stories which honor Sapkowski’s work,” he added.
