Netflix’s popular series The Witcher returns with its fourth season. The trailer released today announced that the new season will premiere on October 30th. This trailer offers a more detailed look at Liam Hemsworth, who takes over the lead role of Geralt from Henry Cavill.
The Witcher is Coming with a New Season
The series, which gained widespread acclaim with its first two seasons, is undergoing major changes in its new season. The story shifted its focus to Ciri and Yennefer after the third season, and the plot continues in this direction. However, Hemsworth’s Geralt of Rivia will also play a key role in the story.
The fourth season is notable for its significant new additions to the cast. Veteran actors such as Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix), Sharlto Copley (District 9), James Purefoy (Rome), and Danny Woodburn have joined the Witcher team this season.
Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer, who were separated by war at the end of the third season, continue their separate paths in the new season. Along the way, they encounter both new enemies and new friendships. The series’ journey to the finale will last two seasons, with the fourth season serving as the first installment. The Witcher will bid farewell to the screens after the fifth season.
Despite the backlash following Henry Cavill’s departure, the series’ producers have decided to continue the story faithfully. Fans are eager to see how Hemsworth’s performance will be received.
This significant transformation for the series not only brings a new face to the cast but also hints at the future of The Witcher. This season will serve as a vital bridge leading up to the series’ finale.
