Netflix has released the first teaser for “The Witcher” season 4, offering viewers a glimpse of Liam Hemsworth in the role of Geralt of Rivia. Hemsworth was announced as the new Geralt in 2022, sparking anticipation among fans eager to see his interpretation of the iconic character. The teaser features Geralt traversing a shadowy, blue-hued landscape on horseback before revealing his new appearance. While Hemsworth’s portrayal bears resemblance to Henry Cavill’s Geralt, the teaser hints at subtle differences.
The show’s makeup and styling departments have endeavored to maintain continuity with the original Geralt look, evident in Hemsworth’s demeanor and attire. However, executive producer Tomek Baginski has indicated that the series intends to address the transition to the new Geralt. Baginski mentioned a plan aligned with the thematic elements of Andrzej Sapkowski’s book series, particularly emphasizing elements from book five, potentially “The Lady of the Lake.”
As fans await further details, the teaser offers a glimpse into the upcoming season while maintaining an air of mystery. The official synopsis accompanies the teaser, providing additional context for viewers anticipating the continuation of the saga:
After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season three, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire and finding one another again.
“The Witcher” season 4 does not yet have a release date, but production began last month.
