Liam Hemsworth Debuts as Geralt in 'The Witcher' Season 5 Set Photos

by Carter May 16,2025

The iconic White Wolf, Geralt of Rivia, is making his final appearance in the highly anticipated fifth and concluding season of *The Witcher*. Production is now in full swing, and fans are buzzing with excitement over recently leaked set photos. These images, shared by the renowned *Witcher* fan site Redanian Intelligence, give us our first glimpse of Liam Hemsworth stepping into the legendary role of Geralt, formerly portrayed by Henry Cavill.

In the photos, Hemsworth dons the signature long blonde hair and full costume of Geralt, seamlessly transitioning into the character. Familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier are also spotted on set, continuing their journey from the seasons led by Cavill. Hemsworth's casting was announced back in October 2022, marking his takeover for both Season 4 and the final Season 5.

New characters are also making their debut in Season 4, set to carry over into the final season. Among them is the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in *Morbius*, who will portray Emiel Regis. The leaked photos suggest that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's *Tower of the Swallow*, hinting at Geralt's encounters with beekeepers and druids. However, with Season 4 yet to be released, the narrative could take any number of turns, leaving fans eager to see how the story unfolds.

It's not just Cavill who's departed 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 an official release date for Season 4, keeping fans on the edge of their seats for more updates.
