Liam Hemsworth Debuts as Geralt in 'The Witcher' Season 5 Set Photos

The White Wolf returns for his final adventure as production for The Witcher Season 5 is in full swing. Fans have been treated to new set photos, offering a glimpse of Liam Hemsworth stepping into the iconic role of Geralt de Rivia. These seemingly leaked images, shared by the dedicated fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase Hemsworth in full costume, complete with Geralt's signature long blonde hair. Alongside him, familiar faces like Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier, who have been part of the series since Henry Cavill led the cast, are also seen.

Hemsworth was announced as Cavill's replacement for Season 4 and the concluding Season 5 back in October 2022. The excitement builds as fans get a first look at Hemsworth's portrayal of the beloved character:

In addition to the returning cast, set images also reveal new characters set to debut in Season 4 and continue into the final season. Among them is the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in Morbius, who will portray Emiel Reigs.

Speculation is rife among fans, with some suggesting that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski’s Tower of the Swallow, where Geralt encounters beekeepers who guide him toward druids. However, with Season 4 yet to be released, the narrative could take any direction, leaving plenty of room for anticipation and theories.

While Henry Cavill's departure has been a significant change, he's not the only one leaving the series. Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's mentor Vesemir, will also not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement, and there is no official release date for Season 4 at this time.
