The Witcher Season 4 to premiere Oct 30 with Liam Hemsworth as Geralt

Netflix confirmed that The Witcher will return for its fourth season on October 30, streaming worldwide, and released the first footage of Liam Hemsworth in the central role of Geralt of Rivia. The eight-episode season, each episode running about 50 minutes, marks a major casting change for the fantasy drama as Hemsworth takes over from Henry Cavill, who played Geralt through the series first three seasons.

Cavill announced his departure in October 2022 on Instagram, saying he would be "laying down my medallion and my swords" for Season 4 and that Hemsworth would take up the mantle. Season 3, released in two parts in mid-2023, was Cavill's final outing as the White Wolf. Netflix and the show's producers have billed the upcoming installments as the start of a two-season arc that will conclude the series with Season 5; the remaining seasons were filmed back to back and are expected to adapt material from three of Andrzej Sapkowski's novels, including Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow and Lady of the Lake.

The new teaser, debuted during a boxing broadcast, shows Hemsworth's Geralt battling a nightwraith, offering fans their first extended look at the actor in full costume....
