Hold onto your swords, Witcher fans! Season 4 is finally in production. New cast members are set to join the fantasy fray—Seinfeld’s Danny Woodburn, District 9’s Sharlto Copley, and James Purefoy from Rome. Oh, and Laurence Fishburne is stepping in as fan-fave character Regis.
But it isn’t just new faces. The biggest shake-up? Henry Cavill officially hung up his wolf pelt. The torch’s been passed to Hunger Games’ Liam Hemsworth.
Geralt of Rivia: New Face, Same Hero
Season 4 filming has already begun—but there’s no official release date yet. There have been delays due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes. Liam Hemsworth expressed his excitement on IG, asserting, “As a Witcher fan, I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia.” He respects what Cavill brought to the role: “I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world.”
So, how exactly will the series explain Geralt’s transformation? Producer Tomek Bagiński teased that “this is not a typical fantasy book,” hinting at a narrative that could involve parallel worlds. However, as another producer downplayed multiverse theories, there’s some back-and-forth on this front, insisting that the characters are fundamentally the same, possibly with new adventures. It sounds like a fun riddle to unravel!
Ciri and Yennefer: A New Journey
Meanwhile, the plot for season 4 promises to be as thrilling as ever. After the dramatic events that wrapped up season 3, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri navigate a war-torn Continent. Netflix’s official synopsis hints at “traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other.” It sounds like our favorite trio will have to gather some new allies if they’re going to survive this “baptism of fire.”
Ciri’s journey has taken a dark turn as she joins a gang of young criminals known as The Rats, and we’ll likely see some heavy character development here. Freya Allan has teased Ciri that she will put her training to the test. “I wanted it to feel like she started to use that training and put that into real life,” she noted, which hints at some serious action ahead.
Geralt and Yennefer are also in for a wild ride. Their main mission? Find and protect Ciri from the looming threats emerging in the chaos. Yennefer’s character arc is about to get even more profound. She deals with the fallout from the Aretuza bloodbath and the loss of her mentor.
