The White Wolf returns for his final adventure as production for The Witcher Season 5 is currently underway. Exciting new photos of Liam Hemsworth stepping into the iconic role of Geralt de Rivia have surfaced online, stirring anticipation among fans. These seemingly leaked set photos, available through the dedicated Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase Hemsworth donning the full costume complete with Geralt's signature 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, are also visible. Hemsworth's casting as the lead for Season 4 and the concluding fifth season was announced back in October 2022, marking a significant transition for the beloved series.

In addition to these glimpses of returning characters, the set photos also reveal new faces joining the cast in Season 4, who are set to play significant roles in the final season. Notably, the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in Morbius, will portray Emiel Reigs.
Speculation is rife among fans about the direction of Season 5, with many suggesting it might draw from Andrzej Sapkowski’s Tower of the Swallow, particularly the scenes involving Geralt meeting beekeepers and being directed toward druids. However, with Season 4 still unreleased, the storyline remains open to various possibilities, leaving much to be explored before the narrative can be pieced together from these early glimpses.
Henry Cavill isn't the only cast member to depart the series; Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's father figure and mentor Vesemir, will also not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. As of now, Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement for the role, and there is still no official release date set for Season 4, keeping fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
