Liam Hemsworth becomes The Witcher: Trailer of season 4
The Netflix Fantasy series finally has a return date. Without Henry Cavill.
Adieu Henry Cavill. Bonjour Liam Hemsworth.
After the defection of the English actor, it is the young Australian star (he is 7 years younger) who takes up the sword under the gray wig of the hero of Fantasy. And Netflix has just unveiled the first official trailer, which also gives the date: season 4 of The Witcher will be released on October 30.
The series will finally make its return, more than two years after season 3. And this time, there is no question of cutting this in two: the 8 episodes of season 4 will be released in one go.
And to mark the occasion, we find Geralt de Riv facing … a spectrum.
In the video revealed today, Geralt crosses iron with a spectral creature and launches this chilling incantation: “With these words, your mortal shell shall meet my fate in fiery Hell” Before freeing the enraged spirit for a death fight.
The official synopsis of season 4 tease a destiny strewn with pitfalls: “After the upheavals of season 3, Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri find themselves separated by a devastating war and countless enemies. While their paths diverge and their objectives are becoming clearer, they cross new unexpected allies, ready to join their quest. And if they accept these substitution families, they could have a chance to find themselves for good …”
The arrival of Hemsworth in Witcher had been announced in October 2022, even before season 3. We still haven’t understood why Henry Cavill – True fan of the game and very involved in the series – had dropped the case. Certainly because the creative direction no longer suited him. Or because he wanted to do other things (like adapting his other favorite game, Warhammer). “My trip as Geralt de Riv was filled with monsters and adventures, but I will have to drop off my medallion and my swords for season 4” he said laconically, announcing his departure. “”In my place, the fantastic Liam Hemsworth will resume the torch of the white wolf. “
Alongside Liam Hemsworththe casting will still be reinforced from old faces, as Mother chalotra (Yennefer de Vengerberg), Freya Allan (Princess Cirilla of Center), Joey (Buttercup), Laurence Fishburne (Regis), Eamon Farren (Cahir), Anna Shaffer (Triss Merigold) and many others …
As already announced, this season 4 will be the penultimate: The Witcher will end after season 5. The last two seasons have been shot in a blow and will still cover three novels in the saga: Fire baptism, The Hirondelle tower et The Lady of the Lake.
“This is the start of a trip in two seasons so that our family finally meets and can stay together-forever, hope”says the creator, showrunner and executive producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.
