It was in October 2022 when Henry Cavill announced that he would be leaving ‘The Witcher’, a series in which he starred for three seasons, to leave the lead role to Liam Hemsworth.
Although the actor did not explain his reasons for leaving the production, it raised a lot of expectations among fans about what his successor in the role would be like. Almost two years after the announcement, we have the first answer.
The first image of Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia in “The Witcher”
On May 22, Netflix revealed the first official image of Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia for ‘The Witcher’ series.
The glimpse came in the form of a little more than a minute long teaser shared on the streaming platform’s social networks. In the short clip, only the legendary wizard, with his crooked beard and iconic scar, is seen mounting and dismounting his horse.
There were no details or previews of what will happen in the story once the 34-year-old Australian actor takes on the lead role.
When does ‘The Witcher’ season 4 premiere?
According to Netflix, production on the fourth season has officially begun. Even on April 18, the streaming service shared a short video of the cast reading their scripts, showing a bit of behind-the-scenes footage but careful enough not to reveal any plot details.
However, there is currently no release date announced for the next season of ‘The Witcher’.
After the continent-shattering events at the end of season three, Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri now find themselves separated, each navigating their own path across a war-torn and haunted continent.
Season 4 of ‘The Witcher’ will see the heroes encounter various groups of misfits that will test their character and resilience while offering them the opportunity to lead and form alliances. If they can overcome these challenges and embrace these groups of misfits, they will have a chance to survive this baptism of fire and hopefully reunite once more.
“The Witcher” series will end after the 5th season
Netflix announced on April 18 that “The Witcher” will not make it past its fifth season. The final season of ‘The Witcher’ will be filmed consecutively with the fourth, marking the end of Geralt de la Rivia’s story. Seasons 4 and 5 will adapt the rest of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books.
