The Witcher Season 4: Liam Hemsworth to play Geralt amidst actors' strike

After Henry Cavill's departure, The Witcher’s production company faced a challenge in casting a new Geralt. However, in October 2022, it was announced that Liam Hemsworth would be taking on the role in The Witcher season 4.

Hemsworth is widely recognized for his role as Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games franchise and his breakout performance in the 2010 film The Last Song, in which he starred alongside Miley Cyrus.

Fans eager to see Hemsworth's portrayal of Geralt will have to wait a bit as he will be joining The Witcher season 4 cast after the release of the latest episodes.


Casting director Sophie Holland stated in May that filming for season 4 with Liam Hemsworth was about to begin, and there would be a short gap before moving on to season 5. However, this news was reported before the onset of an actors' strike in July, which has caused production halts for many shows. It remains unconfirmed whether The Witcher has been affected by the strike as well.

In the trailer for the second part of Season 3, viewers were teased with an epic showdown between Geralt and the series' villain. Liam Hemsworth, aware of the challenge of replacing Henry Cavill, praised his performance as Geralt when announced as his replacement.
