Summary
- Netflix released the official trailer for The Witcher Season 4, which premieres on October 30, 2025
- The trailer gives the first full look at Liam Hemsworth taking over the role of Geralt of Rivia
- The show hints at an in-universe explanation for the change, with a voice saying Geralt is in a “state of flux” and must be “reborn”
The wait is over for the most scrutinized recast in fantasy television. Netflix has released the action-packed official trailer for The Witcher Season 4, giving fans their most extensive look yet at Liam Hemsworth taking on the role of Geralt of Rivia. The new season is set to premiere on October 30, 2025, and promises a narrative steeped in war and personal transformation.
The trailer sets up the main quest: after the Continent-altering events of Season 3, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri are separated by a raging war. The official logline confirms that their paths diverge, forcing them to find unexpected allies and “found families” in their journey to reunite. The footage is filled with Geralt in explosive combat against monsters and soldiers, but also with quiet, introspective moments that address the major change in the lead actor.
A chilling voice narrates during the trailer: “The Witcher is in a state of flux. You are becoming something new.” This line is widely interpreted as the show’s acknowledgment of the recasting, hinting at an in-universe explanation for Geralt’s new appearance. The season is widely expected to focus on Ciri’s transformation into her own hero while Geralt, now joined by newcomers like Laurence Fishburne as Regis, must assemble a new company of heroes to track her down.
