Libyan Geralt is back on the hunt, so toss a coin at your witch. Netflix has released its first appearance in season 4 of the fantasy drama series “The Witcher,” adapted from the novel by Andrzej Sapkowski, which has the same name as the CD Projekt Red video game franchise. The 8-episode season arrives on Netflix on October 30th.
The show’s gray haired protagonist Geralt was played by Henry Cavill in the first three seasons of the Netflix series, but in October 2022 Cavill announced that he would leave the series and that Liam Hemsworth would take over the role of Tital Witcher. Released in two parts in June and July 2023, Season 3 was Cavill’s final outing as a character.
“My journey as Geralt in Libya is filled with both monsters and adventures. Unfortunately, I will lay my medallions and swords for season 4,” writes Cavill. “In my place, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will take up the white wolf mantle.”
The first teaser shows Geralt from Hemsworth, who is very similar to Cavill’s version. The logline states, “After the continent-changing events in Season 3, Geralt, Yennefer and CIRI find themselves separated by fierce wars and countless enemies. As their paths collapse and their goals become sharper, they want to take part in their journey.
In addition to Hemsworth, the cast includes Anya Chalotra (Jennefer of Bengerberg), Freia Alan (Princess of Sintra), Joey Beatty (Jaskier), Lawrence Fishburne (Regis), Eamon Fahren (Kaheel), Anna Schaefer (Tris Merrigord), and Mimi Merrigord (Merrigord).

Adams (iskra), aggy Pocten Fut (Iskra) Wilson Reed (Sabrina), Rochelle Rose (Margarita), Saffiya Ingar (Keira) and others
As previously announced, Season 4 is the penultimate season of “The Witcher,” and the series ends after Season 5. The remaining two seasons of the series remain worthy of three novels: “Baptization of Fire,” “The Tower of the Swallow,” and “Lady of the Lake.”
“This is the beginning of a two-season journey to help families eventually reunite and be together – hopefully forever,” said Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, executive producer at Showrunner.
