'The Witcher' Season 4 Trailer Reveals Liam Hemsworth’s Rebirth as Geralt

Netflix has officially dropped the first trailer for The Witcher Season 4, and the White Wolf is looking a little… different. Liam Hemsworth steps into Geralt of Rivia’s well-worn boots, replacing Henry Cavill, and let’s just say the Continent may never be the same. The trailer, fittingly titled “Rethink the Path,” gives fans their first real taste of Hemsworth’s brooding new take on the iconic monster slayer. Spoiler: he still snarls.

The trailer kicks off with Geralt wandering through a fog-drenched forest and an expression that says, yes, I know I’m not Henry Cavill, now let me kill something. Within seconds, we’re thrown into a gritty brawl against a spider-like creature that forces Hemsworth’s Geralt to use the classic sword before ending the beast. If Netflix was looking to make a statement, consider it made: Hemsworth’s Geralt is here, and he is not playing around.

Replacing Henry Cavill was never going to be easy. The fandom has practically knighted the man for his commitment to the role and his deep knowledge of The Witcher lore. But Cavill’s departure after Season 3 opened the door for Hemsworth, and whether you like it or not, the recast is canon now. Hemsworth sports the white hair, the scar, and yes, a slightly different growl, but the DNA of the character remains.

Netflix is framing Season 4 as a rebirth not just for Geralt, but for the entire series. The storyline is expected to veer deeper into the political chaos of the Continent, with Geralt’s identity crisis mirroring the fractured world around him. Add in the fact that this is the penultimate season, and the stakes have never been higher. Oh, and Laurence Fishburne joins the cast as Regis, so there’s that little gem too.

Fan reaction have been predictably split. Some are mourning the loss of Cavill’s grizzled gravitas, while others are cautiously optimistic, pointing out that Hemsworth might just surprise us all. Either way, it is clear that The Witcher is not done swinging swords or stirring controversy.

Season 4 is set to premiere on October 30, 2025, and if the trailer is anything to go by, we are in for a wilder, weirder ride through the Continent. Whether you are Team Cavill Forever or willing to give Liam a shot, one thing is certain: The Witcher has been reborn, and he is ready to hunt.
