Netflix’s The Witcher will officially be returning for a fourth season, but it will be doing so with a new Geralt of Rivia as Liam Hemsworth will be replacing Henry Cavill after Season 3.
Netflix revealed that Geralt, played by Henry Cavill, has been recast for season four with Liam Hemsworth as he will star as the titular White Wolf.
In an official statement following this big reveal, the new Geralt said he’s “over the moon” about the opportunity to play him. That’s lovely, but a lot of fans have already made it clear they’re not happy with this change.

As Liam himself said, he has “some big boots to fill,” and for most viewers, it’s impossible right now to imagine anyone other than Cavill in the role. Hemsworth is the younger brother of Chris Hemsworth, the actor who plays Thor in the MCU, and he has starred in such films as The Hunger Games as Gale Hawthorne and Independence Day: Resurgence as Jake Morrison.
Season 3 of Netflix’s The Witcher will be released in Summer 2023, but we still don’t know much about it.
