To announce the fourth season of The Witcher, Netflix has just released the first teaser featuring Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia. In the mysterious, bluish footage, the Witch appears with a new appearance we've never seen before. Fans gave various responses, ranging from disappointment because they felt that Henry Cavill was irreplaceable, to high hopes that Hemsworth would bring a fresh nuance to this iconic character.

Although some fans are doubtful, many also support Hemsworth and are curious about his interpretation as Geralt. He will have time to prove himself as “The Witcher” has already been renewed for a fifth season, which will be the final season. This announcement was made in April 2024 via the official Netflix account on X (formerly Twitter), which also featured Hemsworth along with the other cast members in a script reading session. Take a look at some facts such as the release date, trailer and other news that have been summarized by the Dunia Games team below.

The Witcher Season 4, Fourth Sequel About Geralt's Journey

When it comes to the story of the previous season, season 4 already looks like the best chapter of Geralt's journey. This is because season 3 set the stage for people to finally get excited about Continent politics, which was the worst aspect of the show. Season 4 itself will move Yennefer and Geralt in different directions, as well as Yennefer who will definitely clash against Nilfgaard when hunting Vilgefortz. Season 4 will have Yennefer directly involved in the war against the invaders.

This is like the end of season 3, where Geralt also abandoned neutrality after learning that Ciri was being held prisoner in Nilfgaard. While Geralt has the wrong info and Ciri of Nilfgaard is actually an impostor manufactured by Vilgefortz, the White Wolf still defies the code and vows to kill Emperor Emhyr. By leaving the strife between kingdoms largely detached from its heroes' journey, The Witcher fails to provide a reason to follow the intricacies of what's happening in Nilfgaard and Redania.

Nevertheless, now that protector Ciri is fully engaged in the battle for the Continent, The Witcher has the tools it needs to tie together the political layers of the show and the character growth of its main cast. Seeing as season 3 levels the playing field by shifting focus back to Geralt's found family, it's likely that the fourth series will still have to explore the conflict between Nilfgaard and the North.

The Witcher Season 4 Release Date You Need to Know

For the release date for the fourth season of The Witcher, unfortunately fans still need a long time to wait for the movie to be released. This is the same time as before, to be precise the first season was released in December 2019, followed by the second season in December 2021, then the third season will arrive in June and July 2023.

It's unclear if The Witcher's pre-production and shooting schedule will be affected by the SAG-AFTRA union strike, but many are speculating that it's unlikely you'll see anything from the show until Fall 2024 at the earliest. Most likely, based on heavy location work who was involved in the show as well as VFX post-production work, maybe you'll see him in early 2025.

Geralt's New Appearance Is Different But Relatively The Same

Netflix has released a teaser for The Witcher Season 4 on May 22nd 2024. The teaser gives fans a first look at Geralt's character, which is different from previous seasons. This happened because the old role of Geralt (played by Henry Cavill) has been replaced, to be precise, he is now played by Liam Hemsworth.

There are still many people waiting to see more about this series and its story and characters. Of course, with the teaser that was shown previously, it has been a good start for fans, especially to see the new Geralt character.

Where Do We Watch The Witcher Season 4?

Fans of this series will certainly not be surprised that season 4 is the same as the previous three seasons, the similarity being its availability to watch. So, just like before, this fourth season will be available exclusively on the Netflix service.

For those who don't subscribe to this streaming platform, they can only watch it via recorded broadcast. Therefore, in order to be able to watch season 4 of The Witcher with the best resolution, you can subscribe to Netflix with the available package options.

A New Season that Delve Deeper into the Relationships Between Characters and Their Stories

In this fourth season, Geralt's love story with Yennefer will play a big role in the story, this is also with certain changes made to Ciri's story in The Witcher Season 3 which once showed that her character will also undergo an interesting journey. The only thing certain about season 4's story is its diverse world using an unknown multiverse.

Season 4 most likely won't follow what's in the books when it comes to Yennefer, so what will actually happen to her is hard to know. Another certainty is that Vilgefortz will hunt down Yennefer while trying to keep a low profile. Then the evil wizard is trying to gain access to the Monolith with Geralt's main mission saving Ciri.

Pros and Cons of Liam Hemsworth Replacing Henry Cavill as Geralt

From here you already know that Geralt, in previous seasons of The Witcher, was played by a famous, burly actor who was once the Man of Steel. He is Henry Cavill who unfortunately has been replaced in this fourth season. The replacement is Chris Hemsworth's younger brother, aka the actor who plays Thor from the MCU, Liam Hemsworth.

This change of actor has given rise to pros and cons. This is because Henry Cavill is considered the most suitable and perfect actor to play the character Geralt from the story of The Witcher. This is because his appearance, stature and behavior are considered very similar to the character. However, there are also those who think that Liam Hemsworth's physique is actually closer and more in line with the figure of Geralt in the novel version.

Regardless of whether anyone agrees or not, the two actors have actually supported each other with the role of Geralt in season 4. This is from Liam who once shared his reaction to the role on Instagram, where he gushed about his predecessor by writing "As a Witcher fan, I am very excited about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia. Henry Cavill has made an incredible Geralt, and I am honored he handed over the reins to me and allowed me to take over the role.”

Fourth Season Will Continue to the Next Season

Fans of the show will continue to follow the story for several years to come. This is because The Witcher Season 4 will not be the final season of the franchise. This was as it was in May 2023, where the show was officially reported to be renewed for season 5 with season 4 still some time away.

With the confirmation that season 5 will arrive several years after season 4, fans can rest assured that their favorite show will be around for quite a long time. So season 4 will be the season you have to watch if you want to continue to season 5, or if you want to know the ending.
