Netflix has set October 30 for the fourth season premiere of The Witcher with Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivera, a role played by Henry Cavill in the first three seasons. The streamer also dropped the first footage of Hemsworth as Geralt. You can watch it above.
After the shocking Continent-altering events that close out season three, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire — and finding one another again.
Also, as previously reported, Laurence Fishburne joins the upcoming season as Regis, the fan-favorite character from The Witcher books and games. Introduced in Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel Baptism of Fire, Regis is a world-wise Barber-surgeon with a mysterious past who joins Geralt on his journey in Season 4.
Hemsworth and Fishburne join co-stars Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan and Joey Batey.
The Witcher is executive produced by Steve Gaub, Matt O’Toole, Mike Ostrowski, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Lauren Schmidt, Platige Films (Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko) and Hivemind Content (Jason Brown and Sean Daniel).
