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

Author:Kristen Update:May 25,2025

The White Wolf is back for the final chapter as production for The Witcher Season 5 is in full swing. New photos of Liam Hemsworth as the iconic Geralt de Rivia, along with other familiar and fresh faces, have surfaced online, stirring excitement among fans.

The seemingly leaked set photos, available via the Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase the Hunger Games actor in his full Geralt regalia, complete with the character's signature long blonde hair. Alongside Hemsworth, longtime cast members like Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier, who have been part of the series since Henry Cavill led the charge, are also featured. Hemsworth was announced to replace Cavill starting from Season 4 and continuing into the fifth and final season back in October 2022.

Additionally, set images reveal new characters set to debut in Season 4 and continue into the final season, including the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in Morbius, playing Emiel Reigs.

These leaked set photos hint 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 still unreleased, the storyline could take any turn, leaving ample room for speculation and anticipation as fans await the puzzle pieces to fall into place.

Cavill isn't the only departure from the series; Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt’s father figure and mentor Vesemir, will not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement, and no official release date for Season 4 has been set, keeping fans eagerly awaiting more updates.
