The Witcher Season 4 Premieres With Liam Hemsworth’s Geralt This Week

The team frames Hemsworth’s Geralt as a planned shift toward greater vulnerability, calling a contested trailer line context‑driven.

Overview

  • Season 4 launches on Netflix on October 30 with all eight episodes dropping together, introducing Hemsworth as Geralt for seasons 4 and 5.
  • Showrunner Lauren Schmidt‑Hissrich defends Geralt’s trailer shout of “Let’s f**king move,” saying it fits the battle scene and the character’s current state.
  • Creators say Hemsworth’s portrayal is intentionally more emotional and drier in humor, aligning with the story’s progression after past upheavals.
  • Hemsworth says he was initially reluctant to take over from Henry Cavill but spent months on sword training, rehearsals, and fittings to prepare.
  • Production kept Geralt’s signature look to preserve continuity, as online reactions to the recast and the trailer line remain sharply divided before the premiere.
