Throw a coin to your Witcher — even if he appears a bit different these days. Indeed, Netflix has unveiled the first official footage of Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Season 4, along with the official premiere date. While we received the first official image of Hemsworth over a year ago, this marks the first time we’ve seen actual footage. The new season is scheduled to premiere on October 30th.

It has taken some time to get this first glimpse of Hemsworth in the role. Surprisingly, Hemsworth’s transition from Henry Cavill was first announced three years ago — even before Season 3 premiered. That season, which featured Cavill returning as Geralt, was released in the summer of 2023, yet it has taken over two years for new episodes to arrive.

Here’s the official logline:

Following the continent-altering events of Season Three, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri find themselves separated by a raging war and numerous enemies. As their paths diverge and their goals sharpen, they encounter unexpected allies eager to join their journeys. If they can embrace these found families, they may have a chance at reuniting for good…

The series is being promoted as a two-season journey, with Hemsworth also signed on for Season 5, which will likely conclude the story. Laurence Fishburne joins the cast as Regis. The show has maintained its popularity on Netflix, despite mixed reactions from fans regarding Season 3. There were even rumors that Cavill was dissatisfied with the show’s direction, which may have contributed to his departure.

However, don’t feel too sorry for Cavill — his long-awaited Highlander remake is finally progressing, with filming expected to start in early 2026. (Filming would have begun sooner if not for a recent injury.)

Here’s the poster:
