Liam Hemsworth as The Witcher
Back in 2022, Henry Cavill took to Instagram and announced the news that he's leaving the show, and Liam Hemsworth will be taking over as The Witcher. The teaser shows Hemsworth as Geralt in action, appearing quite similar to Cavill's portrayal as he defeats a ghostly wraith. According to the official synopsis, Season 4 will see Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri scattered across the Continent after the events of Season 3, separated by war and enemies. While their paths are different, the trio will encounter unexpected allies who might help them reunite.
Although it's too early to say if Liam Hemsworth did justice to the character after replacing Henry Cavill, fans’ reactions to the teaser are mixed, with some expressing concern and disappointment about the recasting. Some even suggested cancelling the show when Henry Cavill decided to leave The Witcher.
