Liam Hemsworth Replaces Henry Cavill as Geralt in Netflix's The Witcher Season 4

Liam Hemsworth has taken over the role of Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, succeeding Henry Cavill, who had played the character for the show's first three seasons. Hemsworth faced significant backlash and comparison to Cavill upon the casting announcement, leading him to step away from social media for much of the past year to avoid distractions. Despite the pressure, Hemsworth aimed to bring his own truthful interpretation to the role rather than emulate Cavill, working closely with the show's team to maintain continuity while making the character his own. Henry Cavill publicly endorsed Hemsworth's casting, expressing reverence for the role and enthusiasm for Hemsworth's portrayal. Hemsworth shared that filming intense scenes, such as a rain-soaked fight sequence with multiple headbutts, helped him settle into the character. The Witcher season 4 premieres on October 30 on Netflix, with a fifth and final season already confirmed.
