Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski’s book The Witcher, published between 1993 and 1990, was first adapted as a video game series in 2007. In 2019, The Witcher, adapted as a series by Netflix, attracted great attention with the adventures of Geralt character, brought to life by the famous actor Henry Cavill.
It was announced that the series, whose 2nd season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and some injuries on the set of the series, will be broadcast on Netflix on December 17, 2021. The highly anticipated series is getting more attention thanks to its lead role, Henry Cavill. It is not known whether another actor would have played the character of Geralt, but the price that Henry Cavill will receive in the second season shows that the actor is an indispensable factor for the series.
Will receive more than double the first season’s pay
Variety published a list in the past months, in which Henry Cavill is in an important place with a fee of $ 400 thousand per episode, and announced how much the actors in the Hollywood series received per episode. Henry Cavill, who made the series a highly anticipated production by acting successfully in the first season of The Witcher series, will receive more than $ 1 million per episode in the second season of the series, with the effect of his success.
Also speaking about season 2, Henry Cavill said, “This season I really wanted to make sure we represented Geralt in the book more accurately and saw him talk more. I really pushed hard for this. I wouldn’t say happy. He’s still Geralt of Rivia, but he definitely comes across as more of an intellectual. It’s a hard life, monster hunting. . . I would not recommend it”.
