Liam Hemsworth Unveils Stunning Transformation in 'The Witcher' Season 4 Teaser

Liam Hemsworth has joined The Witcher and looks amazing in the iconic wig.

The teaser trailer for season 4 of the Netflix show features the 34-year-old Hunger Games star. There is no release date yet for the new season. In the short clip, Hemsworth takes on the role of Geralt of Rivia, previously played by Henry Cavill. He is shown leading a horse through a dark, misty forest, sporting long blonde locks. The teaser ends with him gazing ominously into the distance before fading to black.

The popular Netflix series, which first aired in 2018, follows the adventures of Geralt as he roams the Continent battling monsters, mages, and other threats. Along the way, he forms an unexpected bond with the powerful sorceress Yennefer (played by Anya Chalotra) and the Cintran princess Ciri (played by Freya Allan), as they work together to protect Ciri from those who wish to harm her.

In October 2022, Henry Cavill, who portrayed Geralt in the series, announced his decision to step away from the role. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play Geralt, mentioning the challenges and excitement he experienced throughout his time on the show. Cavill also shared his confidence in Liam Hemsworth, who will be taking over the role of Geralt in Season 4.

Henry Cavill, who plays the Man of Steel, complimented Liam by saying, "Liam, my friend, this character has so much depth to explore. Have fun delving into it and discovering all that it offers." In response, Hemsworth expressed his enthusiasm for the role, mentioning that he is thrilled to portray Geralt.

"Hey Henry, I've admired your work for a long time and I'm really impressed by how you portrayed this iconic character," he expressed. "I know it's a tough act to follow, but I'm genuinely thrilled to be joining The Witcher universe."

Allan, 22, has voiced some concerns about how fans will react to Cavill being replaced. In an interview with Collider in May, she expressed sympathy for him, saying, "I feel sorry for him, honestly. That fan base can be very attack-y, and it’s not an ideal situation to be in taking up someone else’s role."

Despite her worries, Allan also shared her optimism for Hemsworth's success in the series. She described him as a "lovely guy" and expressed her hope that people will give him a chance.

Cavill's final appearance as Geralt was in the season 3 finale of The Witcher, which was aired in July 2023. In April, creator and showrunner Lauren Schmidt shared the exciting news that season 4 of the series had begun production. She also announced that the show had been renewed for a fifth season.

Schmidt expressed her immense pride as they started filming the second-to-last season of The Witcher. She mentioned the stellar cast, which included new additions, with Liam Hemsworth taking on the role of Geralt of Rivia. Schmidt emphasized their commitment to bringing Andrzej Sapkowski's books to a grand and satisfying conclusion. She teased that viewers could expect the characters to be pushed to their limits and urged everyone to stay tuned for the exciting finale.
