The Witcher Season 4: A Fresh Face and New Adventures Await
Entertainment Desk, May 24, 2024: The Witcher Season 4 has officially begun filming, and there’s a significant change that fans have been eagerly anticipating. In a dramatic shift, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth has stepped into the rugged boots of Geralt of Rivia, following Henry Cavill’s departure from the beloved role in 2022.

His look has been in development for over a year, so it’s thrilling to finally share an official sneak peek of Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia. Cast and crew alike have been struck by the passion, energy, and embodiment Liam has brought to the character from Day 1 – scruffy beard, iconic scar, and all. We’re having so much fun filming season 4 and are excited to welcome fans along on this journey with us.”
The upcoming season promises more than just a new face for Geralt. Returning cast members include Freya Allan as Princess Cirilla, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, and Joey Batey as the ever-entertaining minstrel Jaskier. Season 3, split into two parts and released in June and July 2023, set the stage for these beloved characters’ continuing adventures.
