The Witcher season 4 with Liam Hemsworth debuts Oct 30, 2025

Netflix releases the fourth season of The Witcher on Thursday, October 30, 2025, with Liam Hemsworth stepping into the lead role of Geralt of Rivia and all eight episodes becoming available at once. The new season continues the adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's fantasy saga and follows Geralt, sorceress Yennefer and Princess Ciri as they reunite and traverse a war-torn Continent after being separated at the end of season three.

Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said recasting conversations began well before Hemsworth's hire and acknowledged the production expected strong reactions from the show's vocal fan base. She described the new take on Geralt as more emotionally expressive and slightly drier in humor than the previous portrayal. "Geralt is a little funnier this season. He's a little more dry. He's also a lot more emotional," she said, adding that Hemsworth was able to access vulnerable levels of the character the show had not yet explored.

Hemsworth has spoken about preparing for the role, saying he felt comfortable with the physical demands by the time filming began and that donning armor and contact lenses helped him immerse in the character. Early promotional clips...
