Netflix has unveiled the first official look at Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Season 4.

The new season of The Witcher is set to premiere on October 30, 2025.

Liam Hemsworth Takes Over as Geralt

The image reveals Hemsworth in full Geralt armor, complete with the white hair and swords that fans know so well. While Cavill’s version of Geralt set a high standard, Hemsworth’s look promises a fresh yet familiar take on the legendary Witcher.

Henry Cavill exited the series after three seasons, citing creative differences with the showrunner’s vision. Many fans were disappointed, as Cavill was considered by many to be a perfect embodiment of Geralt. However, Netflix has assured viewers that Hemsworth will bring his own depth and intensity to the role.

Fan Reactions to the First Look

The reveal of Hemsworth’s Geralt has already sparked major discussion online. Some fans remain skeptical about anyone replacing Cavill, while others are cautiously optimistic, praising Hemsworth’s dedication to training and preparation for the role.

Social media is buzzing with side-by-side comparisons of Cavill and Hemsworth, highlighting both the differences and similarities in their portrayals. It’s clear that Hemsworth will face a unique challenge: living up to Cavill’s legacy while also making Geralt his own.

What to Expect in Season 4

Season 4 of The Witcher will continue to explore the political intrigue and monster-hunting adventures that have made the series a global hit. With Hemsworth leading the cast, the new season is expected to push Geralt into even darker and more dangerous territory.

Netflix has confirmed that The Witcher will run for at least five seasons, meaning Hemsworth’s version of Geralt will play a key role in shaping the long-term future of the series.
