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

The iconic White Wolf is making his final appearance as production for the much-anticipated fifth and final season of *The Witcher* kicks off. Fans have been treated to new set photos, showcasing Liam Hemsworth stepping into the iconic role of Geralt de Rivia. These images, which surfaced on the dedicated Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence, offer a glimpse of Hemsworth in full costume, complete with the character's distinctive long blonde hair. Alongside him, familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier, who have been part of the series since Henry Cavill's tenure, also appear in the photos.

Hemsworth was officially announced as Cavill's replacement for both Season 4 and the concluding Season 5 back in October 2022. The excitement continues to build with the introduction of new characters in Season 4, set to carry over into the final season. Among them is the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, who will portray Emiel Reigs, previously seen in *Morbius*.

Speculation is rife among fans about the plot for Season 5, with the leaked set photos hinting at a storyline inspired by Andrzej Sapkowski’s *Tower of the Swallow*. This could involve Geralt encountering beekeepers who guide him to the druids. However, with Season 4 yet to premiere, the narrative could take any number of turns, leaving plenty of room for anticipation and speculation.

While Henry Cavill's departure from the series marked a significant change, he's not the only cast member to be recast. Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's mentor Vesemir, will not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement or confirm a release date for Season 4, keeping fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
