Hell broke lose in late 2022 when it was announced that Liam Hemsworth would be replacing Henry Cavill in The Witcher, and season 3 would serve as Cavill’s swansong from the IP. This led to a not-so-small portion of the fandom reviewing bombing season 3 upon its premiere, with some even stressing that the show should end with Cavill’s departure.
But despite the pushback from the fans, Netflix has persisted with its decision and greenlit two more seasons for The Witcher, and the filming for the fourth one began not very long ago. And the new leak from the sets has given fans how Hemsworth’s Witcher would appear in the show, which has failed to impress fans of the series.

The Witcher is wrapping up its final Season on Netflix. After Henry Cavill’s exit, the fantasy show is going into production for a fourth season and has been renewed for a fifth and final season. Liam Hemsworth finally takes the baton from Cavill for Season 4. Netflix states that the final two seasons will be filmed consecutively, meaning the grand finale won’t likely have to wait years to arrive. Additionally, they will go over Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake, three of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books.
After Henry Cavill’s shocking exit from The Witcher, the show was supposed to continue the mystical lore, with Liam Hemsworth taking over Geralt Of Rivia.

Netflix has officially begun production of The Witcher Season 4 and shared a sneak peek of the cast together from the recent table read. The streaming service has also given the green light to Season 5 of The Witcher, which will film back-to-back with Season 4 and will be the final chapter in Geralt’s story.
Seasons 4 and 5 will adapt the remaining Sapkowski books, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake, promising an epic and satisfying conclusion to Netflix’s hit fantasy drama.
After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season three, the fourth season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri, who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other.

The saga of Geralt of Rivia is coming to an end.
Netflix announced Wednesday that it has ordered a fifth — and final — season of The Witcher. The streamer also noted that season four, which will see Liam Hemsworth taking over the role of Geralt from Henry Cavill, has begun production. The final two seasons will film back to back.
“It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia,” showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski’s books to an epic and satisfying conclusion.

When The Witcher season 4 starts streaming on Netflix, our hero Geralt of Rivia is going to have a whole new look. That’s because Henry Cavill is no longer involved, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role of Geralt. Today, Deadline has revealed that Hemsworth is being joined in the cast of The Witcher season 4 by Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix and the John Wick franchise), who will be playing a character named Regis.
If you’re like me and don’t have any familiarity with the Witcher franchise outside of the Netflix show, chances are that the first person you think of when you see the name Regis is Regis Philbin. But, of course, Fishburne’s casting on this show is not going to require any sort of Philbin impression. Instead, the Regis character he’ll be playing is someone who was introduced in Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel Baptism of Fire.

The Witcher has found its Regis. Emmy winner and Oscar nominee Laurence Fishburne is joining the upcoming fourth season of the Netflix series as the fan-favorite character from The Witcher books and games.
Introduced in Sapkowski’s novel Baptism of Fire, Regis is a world-wise Barber-surgeon with a mysterious past who joins Geralt on his journey in Season 4. Geralt will be played by Liam Hemsworth, who takes over the role from Henry Cavill, who exited at the end of Season 3.
After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season three, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire — and finding one another again.

The cast of "The Witcher" truly went on a journey of extreme temperatures in season 3. When Ciri actor Freya Allan wasn't baking in the 114 degree heat of a Moroccan desert while wearing a fur-lined outfit, she was freezing her toes off in the tundra.
Anya Chalotra, who plays Yennefer of Vengerberg in the series, explained that "The Witcher" season 3's opening arc was filmed in Slovenia. Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer are laying low at the dwelling of their old pal Yarpen Zigren in a snowswept landscape surrounded by mountains and a lake. That snow was very real, as a photo shared by producer Steve Gaub on Instagram can attest. Per Redanian Intelligence, the early days of production on "The Witcher" season 3 were centered on the border of Italy and Slovenia, including a pair of glacial lakes called Laghi di Fusine.

"The Witcher" might be undergoing some major changes with its third season, but you didn't think the show would be without some deranged eldritch beasts, did you? Netflix's Henry Cavill-led fantasy drama is bidding adieu to its star, who'll soon be replaced by Liam Hemsworth in the role of Geralt of Rivia in season 4. Meanwhile, Ciri (Freya Allan) will face her biggest choice yet as part of season 3, volume 2, in an event that's sure to fundamentally change the child of Elder Blood going forward. In fact, Ciri will be the main character in "The Witcher" after season 3, according to executive producers Steve Gaub and Tomek Baginsk.
With all these changes going on, you might expect the writers to be focused more on story and setting up season 4, but this is still "The Witcher," and you can't have "The Witcher" without some good old-fashioned monster hunting.

As the streaming landscape continues to evolve, for better and for worse, companies like Netflix are trying to find new ways to stay relevant and keep people coming back to watch their movies and TV shows over the competition’s. Netflix is well known for making the binge-watch model of release popular, with entire seasons dropping on the streamer at once to encourage viewers to consume a series as fast as they can. But now that weekly episode releases are becoming popular again for TV shows on services like Hulu, Disney+, and Max, Netflix seems to be trying to find a way to keep up hype for their shows beyond the first week a season drops.
Rather than entirely scrapping the binge-watch model, Netflix has instead chosen to adopt a hybrid of sorts where they split seasons into two parts and release them separately.

Before heading into the The Witcher’s season three finale, let’s recap.
Over the course of this season’s first five episodes, Geralt (Henry Cavill), Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and Ciri (Freya Allan) are on the run — from, well, basically everyone on the Continent — as the warring factions battle for claim to the land. The key to winning the fight? Ciri, herself.
Yennefer has taken Ciri to develop her magic at the academy of Aretuza, while Geralt hunts the evil and dangerous mage Rience, discovering some disturbing developments along the way. Part two leaves only three episodes to tie up the various storylines at play, not to mention that it will also mark star Cavill’s last time as the titular witcher, before Liam Hemsworth takes over the role of Geralt in Netflix’s season four.

It's been a few weeks since Volume I of "The Witcher" season 3 aired on Netflix, ending with a cliffhanger that anticipates the massacre after the Thanedd Ball. While the first two seasons have been pretty eventful so far, season 3 gets to the meat of the overarching story pretty quickly, making it fairly clear that Geralt (Henry Cavill) is not the sole protagonist of the series. In Andrzej Sapkowski's "The Witcher" novel series, there are many players that assume key roles, but Geralt and Ciri emerge as equally important in a tale about power, betrayal, and political upheaval. While Geralt still plays a crucial part in guiding Ciri (Freya Allan) in the right direction, the series will soon set up Ciri as the main character, as the fate of the Continent hinges on her actions.

Fans of “The Witcher” are patiently awaiting the upcoming third season of the Netflix fantasy hit, in which star Henry Cavill will exit midway through the season, with his character, Geralt of Rivia, to then be played by Liam Hemsworth.
While TV series have occasionally brought in new actors to play characters, “The Witcher” is somewhat unique in that the switch will be taking place partway through a season.
However, the series’ producers are promising fans that the transition will be “flawless,” and will adhere to author Andrzej Sapkowski’s original novels.

After announcing that production had started on Season 3 of “The Witcher” earlier this month, Netflix has revealed four new cast members who are joining Geralt (Henry Cavill), Ciri (Freya Allan) and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) on their next adventure.

The gifts keep on coming for “The Witcher” fans today, as not long after Netflix revealed the show’s Season 2 premiere date out of WitcherCony, the streaming service dropped the first teaser for the second season of the Henry Cavill-led series as well.
Watch the teaser for “The Witcher” Season 2 via the video above.
In the clip, you’ll see Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan) and Geralt (Cavill), finally together after first meeting at the very end of Season 1, and Ciri asking the witcher if she is his “destiny,” to which he replies, she’s “much more” than that. Geralt then takes Ciri with him to meet his witcher brothers at Kaer Morhen, and begins to teach her how to run, how to hide, and how to fight monsters. Although that last one is something he seems very reluctant to be doing.

The Witcher season 2 spell has been woven over at Netflix, with the proverbial coin of renewal having been tossed to the series by the streaming Valley of Plenty over a month before the premiere of season 1.
The second season of Netflix’s The Witcher was officially confirmed back in November, and with an 8-episode order, which matches the number of episodes for the hit inaugural season. Production on Season 2 will commence in London in early 2020, with a premiere set for fall 2021.
Indeed, Netflix’s gamble seems to have paid off, with The Witcher going on to become one of its biggest performers, due to a touted record-breaking 76 million household presence – notwithstanding ambiguity over the parameters for those metrics.

He will play the eight-episode role Vesemir.

Kim Bodnia (Killing Eve) has joined the Season 2 cast of The Witcher, Netflix’s fantasy drama series starring Henry Cavill.
The series that the streamer calls its biggest new show is epic tale of fate and family — the story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.

Only eight days away from the series’ release, Netflix dropped the final trailer for its highly anticipated eight-episode first season of “The Witcher.”
Best on Andrzej Sapkowski’s bestselling fantasy series of books, “The Witcher” stars Henry Cavill (“Justice League”) as monster hunter Geralt of Rivia, Freya Allan (“The War of the Worlds”) as the young princess Cirilla and Anya Chalotra (“Wanderlust”) as the sorceress Yennefer. The adaptation will follow these three characters’ intertwined destinies in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes and monsters battle, and where good and evil is not easily identified.
The final trailer reveals the first season’s likely central conflict. Nilfgaard, the most powerful empire in the fantasy world, has targeted the land of Cintra and its princess, Cirilla. Of course, the only person who can protect her is Cavill’s Geralt.
“I will take the girl,” Geralt says in the trailer.

After yesterday’s ovation for Marvel and Star Wars, you would think that the Ccxp crowd couldn’t get any louder. Well, they outdid themselves Sunday during the Netflix panel. A sizzle reel of the best streaming platform’s greatest hits played, ending with The Witcher, which received enormous praise from the crowd, but once the show’s star Henry Cavill stepped on the stage to surprise the audience, they were unhinged with joy.
Show creator Lauren Schmidt Hissrich joined Cavill for the surprise as they talked about the adaptation of the namesake fantasy novels that has gained a rabid following. Cavill, who plays the grim Geralt of Rivia admits that he was a fan of the novels. As for Hissrich, she loved the fantasy but wanted the fighting and action to move the story forward.

Netflix's Henry Cavill-headlined series, The Witcher, landed a second season order over a month before its premiere.
The Witcher Season 2 spell has been woven over at Netflix, with the proverbial coin of renewal having been tossed to the series by the streaming Valley of Plenty over a month before this past December's arrival of Season 1!
The second season of Netflix’s The Witcher was officially confirmed back in November, set to manifest with an 8-episode run, which matches the number of episodes for the hit inaugural season. Production on Season 2 will commence in London in early 2020, with a premiere set for fall 2021. Additionally, the show’s main cast trio – Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer and Freya Allan as Ciri – are set to return.

While “Avengers: Infinity War” topped the 17th annual Ves Awards (to be held February 5th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel) with six nominations, “Black Panther,” Marvel’s other Oscar frontrunner, was shut out. And Damien Chazelle’s acclaimed “First Man,” another frontrunner, was included in the supporting category as a result of its invisible VFX. Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns,” meanwhile, was also snubbed.
However, joining “Infinity War” in the top VFX category were a surprising list: “Ready Player One” (with five nominations), “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” “Christopher Robin” and “Welcome to Marwen.” Joining “First Man” for supporting VFX were “12 Strong,” Bird Box,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “Outlaw King”.
In animation, Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” was the big winner with five nominations, followed by Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet” with four. They were joined by Illumination’s “The Grinch” and Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs.
