Overview
- Netflix launches the eight‑episode fourth season on October 30, introducing Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia after Henry Cavill’s exit.
- Lauren Schmidt Hissrich says Hemsworth’s take emphasizes emotional depth and dry humor as the character starts from a low point following past setbacks.
- The creator defended a trailer moment in which Geralt shouts “Let’s f**king move,” saying it fits the battle context and this incarnation of the character.
- New casting includes Laurence Fishburne as the vampire Regis, with season 4 pairing a refreshed tone with a revamped look and feel for the series.
- Seasons 4 and 5 were planned together to adapt the remaining Sapkowski novels, with Netflix confirming season 5 will conclude the show.
