The Witcher Season 4: Hemsworth Debuts Oct. 30

Netflix released the Season 4 trailer for The Witcher, officially debuting Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia and confirming the season will premiere Oct. 30, 2025 as part of the show's two‑season finale plan. The trailer frames a war‑torn Continent with Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri separated — Geralt assembling new allies while Ciri appears to be undercover as “Falka” with the Rats — and introduces Laurence Fishburne as the vampire Regis amid the looming threat of Vilgefortz. It includes an in‑universe nod to the recast and a profanity‑tipped line that drew attention in early clips. Fan reaction is split: many viewers praised Hemsworth’s combat sequences while others criticized his vocal delivery, costume and the trailer’s tone, with some blaming writing or production choices for Henry Cavill’s departure. Critics noted the trailer emphasizes a darker, more unsettling Ciri arc and warned Season 4 may shift narrative weight toward her transformation, raising concerns about faithfulness to Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels.
