A Flurry of Actors Join 'The Witcher', As Liam Hemsworth's Season 4 is Still in The Wait Since Henry Cavill Exit

Published 08/30/2025, 10:49 PM EDT

The wind whispers tales of a fading era. The legacy of the Witcher, once a solitary legend, has expanded into a turbulent symphony of sword, sorcery, and destiny. Scenes flash before the mind’s eye: the stoic silhouette of Geralt of Rivia, a lonely figure on a desolate path, and the blazing chaos of Sodden Hill, where mages fought for a continent’s soul. Now, as the final chapters of this televised epic are written, the torch passes to a new generation of faces who will continue this rich narrative. The Continent expands with fresh blood, bringing new characters and a renewed energy to the approaching seasons as viewers bid farewell to the Geralt they have known.

While one new face, Liam Hemsworth, has consistently remained the talk of the town, there are many more that fans will need to get accustomed to.

Liam Hemsworth's new appearance as Geralt

In a teaser, Liam Hemsworth is seen wearing Geralt’s signature medallion as he walks through a dim, murky land. He turns to face something looming behind him. The first official look at Hemsworth as Geralt shows a similar appearance to Henry Cavill's portrayal, with a focus on his costume and a new sword. Some viewers feel his look is closer to the book Geralt, who is younger and slimmer than the version from the video games.
