“The journey continues. Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia in 'The Witcher',” we read in the description of the short clip published on Netflix's social media. We can see how the young actor presents himself in the role he took over from Henry Cavill. So far, we could only see the youngest of the Hemsworth brothers as the White Wolf in unofficial materials from the set of the fourth season.
On April 18, Netflix officially started work on the fourth season of “The Witcher” in the UK and shared photos of some of the cast trying to read the script. The website also announced that both the fourth and fifth series will be adaptations of Andrzej Sapkowski's subsequent books from the Witcher saga – “Baptism of Fire”, “The Swallow's Tower” and “The Lady of the Lake”.
According to Redanian Intelligence, the action of the new episodes will begin many, many years after the events of the last episode of the third series. One of the characters, Stribog (Clive Russell, known from “Game of Thrones”), will start telling the gathered group of children the story of Geralt. Listeners will suggest other versions of the fight between the White Wolf and Vilgefortz – which is why they will feature different visions of Geralt. At the end of the story, the hero will be Liam Hemsworth's Geralt. Apparently the scriptwriters want to explain the change of the main actor in this way.
The above RI information also explains why the creators decided to re-shoot the fight scene from the sixth episode of the third series. Are these reports true? We'll find out when new episodes of “The Witcher” hit Netflix.
“After the shocking and groundbreaking events for the Continent, ending the third season of production, the new part of the series follows the fate of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri, who, being away from each other, must traverse the war-ravaged Continent and face its numerous demons. If they manage to unite and lead the groups of misfits among whom they find themselves, they have a chance to survive the baptism by fire and find themselves again,” reads the official announcement of the fourth season, which will be released in 2025.
