Netflix has released the official trailer for Season 4 of its fantasy series “The Witcher,” which sees Liam Hemsworth taking over as Geralt of Rivia from former star Henry Cavill. The new season releases on Netflix on Oct. 30.
The trailer shows Hemsworth’s Geralt assembling an army of adventurers to track down his former Witcher apprentice Ciri (Freya Allan). He and his party, which includes fan favorites Yennefer of Vengerberg, (Anya Chalotra), the bard Jaskier (Joey Batey), newcomer Regis (played by Laurence Fishburne) and more, must also face off against the evil Vilgefortz’s (Mahesh Jadu) dark forces. On his journey, Geralt slices up several soldiers, a giant, ogre-like creature and a ghostly wraith.
“The Witcher is in a state of flux. You are becoming something new,” a voice says ominously. “How will you be reborn?” asks another. That might be an indirect reference to Hemsworth taking over for Cavill, who exited the Netflix series in October 2022. Cavill starred as Geralt for three season, and now Hemsworth will guide “The Witcher” through this penultimate season and its finale in the upcoming Season 5.
The “Witcher” cast also includes Eamon Farren (Cahir), Anna Shaffer (Triss Merigold), Mimî M Khayisa (Fringilla), Cassie Clare (Philippa), Meng’er Zhang (Milva), Graham McTavish (Dijkstra), Royce Pierreson (Istredd), Mecia Simson (Francesca), Sharlto Copley (Leo Bonhart), Danny Woodburn (Zoltan) Jeremy Crawford (Yarpen), Bart Edwards (Emhyr), Hugh Skinner (Radovid), James Purefoy (Skellen), Christelle Elwin (Mistle), Fabian McCallum (Kayleigh), Juliette Alexandra (Reef), Ben Radcliffe (Giselher), Connor Crawford (Asse), Aggy K. Adams (Iskra), Linden Porco (Percival Schuttenbach), Therica Wilson-Read (Sabrina), Rochelle Rose (Margarita), Safiyya Ingar (Keira) and more.
The logline for Season 4 reads: “After the Continent-altering events of Season 3, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri find themselves separated by a raging war and countless enemies. As their paths diverge, and their goals sharpen, they stumble on unexpected allies eager to join their journeys. And if they can accept these found families, they just might have a chance at reuniting for good.”
