‘The Witcher’ Season 4 Debuts with Liamโ Hemsworth asโ Geralt, Focuses on Separate Journeys
Netflix’s “The Witcher” has returned for a fourth season, now led โby Liam Hemsworth as Geralt โคof Rivia. Theโข new season sees Yennefer, portrayed by Anya Chalotra, actively recruiting fellow mages – including Philippa Eilhartโ (Cassie โขClaire), Francesca Findabair (Mecia Simson), and Fringilla Vigo (Mimรฎ M. Khayisa) – to Aretuza to strategize against the rising power of Vilgefortz.
Simultaneously occurring, Ciri, now in her twenties, has abandoned her identity andโ powers, adopting the alias falka and finding refuge with a group ofโ thieves known as the Rats. The series explores her attempts to forge โขher own path independent of โฃherโข lineage and the expectations surrounding her Elder blood.
Hemsworth’s portrayal โคof Geralt follows Henry Cavill’s long-running performance, andโ the transition is described as largely seamless, particularly given the โseason’s structure which focuses on Geralt,โฃ Yennefer, and Ciri’s individual storylines. The narrative reflects a more emotionally attunedโ Geralt,making the shift โin actors feel organic.
Season 4 introduces new characters including Regis (Laurenceโข Fishburne), a mysterious herbalist, and Zoltan Chivay (Danny Woodburn), a returning fan-favorite dwarf.The eight-episode season is praised for its pacing and tone,offering ample screenโ time to the central trio. While Episodeโค 5, “The Joy โof cooking,” is noted as a filler chapter, the โคoverall season is considered a crucial stepping stone โฃtoward the show’s planned fifth and final season.
“The Witcher” Season 4 is currently streaming on Netflix.
