The White Wolf returns for his final chapter. Excitement is building as production for The Witcher Season 5 is in full swing, and fans have been treated to new set photos featuring Liam Hemsworth as the iconic Geralt of Rivia. These images, which surfaced on the dedicated fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase the Hunger Games star donning the character's signature long blonde hair, alongside familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang reprising her role as Milva and Joey Batey returning as the beloved bard Jaskier. Hemsworth's casting as Geralt was announced back in October 2022, taking over from Henry Cavill starting with Season 4 and continuing into the fifth and final season.

The leaked set photos also introduce new characters set to appear in Season 4 and continue into the final season, including the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in Morbius, who will portray Emiel Regis. These images have sparked speculation among fans that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's Tower of the Swallow, where Geralt encounters beekeepers who guide him toward druids. However, with Season 4 yet to be released, the narrative could take any number of turns, leaving plenty of room for anticipation and speculation.
It's not just Cavill who has departed from the series; Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's mentor Vesemir, will also not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement or provide an official release date for Season 4, keeping fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
