Toss a coin to your witcher because Geralt of Rivia is back on the hunt. Netflix has released the first look at Season 4 of "The Witcher," the fantasy drama series adapted from CD Projekt Red's video game franchise and Andrzej Sapkowski's novels of the same name. The eight-episode season will arrive on Netflix on Oct. 30.
Though the show's white-haired protagonist Geralt was played by Henry Cavill in the first three seasons of the Netflix series, Cavill took to Instagram in October 2022 to announce that he was departing the series and that Liam Hemsworth would take over the role of the titular witcher. Season 3, which was released in two parts in June and July 2023, was Cavill's final outing as the character.

"My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4," Cavill wrote. "In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf."
The first teaser shows Hemsworth's Geralt, who looks very similar to Cavill's version, vanquish a ghostly wraith. The logline reads: "After the Continent-altering events of Season 3, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri find themselves separated by a raging war and countless enemies. As their paths diverge, and their goals sharpen, they stumble on unexpected allies eager to join their journeys. And if they can accept these found families, they just might have a chance at reuniting for good."
In addition to Hemsworth, the cast includes Anya Chalotra (Yennefer of Vengerberg), Freya Allan (Princess Cirilla of Cintra), Joey Batey (Jaskier), Laurence Fishburne (Regis), Eamon Farren (Cahir), Anna Shaffer (Triss Merigold), Mimî M Khayisa (Fringilla), Cassie Clare (Philippa), Mahesh Jadu (Vilgefortz), Meng'er Zhang (Milva), Graham McTavish (Dijkstra), Royce Pierreson (Istredd), Mecia Simson (Francesca), Sharlto Copley (Leo Bonhart), Danny Woodburn (Zoltan) Jeremy Crawford (Yarpen), Bart Edwards (Emhyr), Hugh Skinner (Radovid), James Purefoy (Skellen), Christelle Elwin (Mistle), Fabian McCallum (Kayleigh), Juliette Alexandra (Reef), Ben Radcliffe (Giselher), Connor Crawford (Asse), Aggy K. Adams (Iskra), Linden Porco (Percival Schuttenbach), Therica Wilson-Read (Sabrina), Rochelle Rose (Margarita), Safiyya Ingar (Keira) and more
As previously announced, Season 4 will be the penultimate season of "The Witcher," with the series coming to a close after Season 5. The two remaining seasons of the series were shot back to back and have three novels' worth of material left to cover: "Baptism of Fire," "The Tower of the Swallow" and "Lady of the Lake."
"This is the beginning of a two-season journey for our family to finally reunite and be together — hopefully forever," said creator, showrunner and executive producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.
