The wait is almost over! Netflix UK has officially confirmed that The Witcher Season 4 will arrive in 2025—but don’t expect things to be the same.

With Henry Cavill gone, Liam Hemsworth stepping in as Geralt, and major changes to the story, this next chapter of The Witcher will either revive the franchise or send it into chaos.

So, what’s in store for Season 4? Who’s returning? And why is Netflix making risky moves that could change the show forever?

Here’s everything you need to know.

The Big Announcement: The Witcher Season 4 Arrives in 2025

After months of speculation, Netflix UK has finally confirmed it—The Witcher Season 4 will be released in 2025.

The announcement sent shockwaves through the fandom, as many had feared that the show’s future was uncertain after Henry Cavill’s dramatic exit.

But now, Netflix is doubling down on its commitment to the series, pushing forward with an entirely new era of The Witcher.

 The biggest change?
Liam Hemsworth is officially replacing Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia.

And fans are divided.

A New Geralt: Can Liam Hemsworth Fill Henry Cavill’s Boots?

Henry Cavill’s departure from The Witcher was one of the biggest controversies in Netflix history.

The Superman actor, who was a die-hard fan of the books and games, left the series after Season 3—reportedly due to creative differences with the showrunners.

His replacement? Liam Hemsworth.

While Hemsworth is a talented actor, stepping into the role of Geralt of Rivia is no small task.

Here’s what we know so far:

 Liam Hemsworth has already started intense sword training to match Cavill’s iconic fight choreography.
 Netflix has promised a “seamless transition” between Cavill and Hemsworth, but how they’ll explain Geralt’s new face remains a mystery.
 Hemsworth’s Geralt will be “different”—less stoic, more emotional, and possibly influenced by the books’ later storylines.

Fans are skeptical.

“No disrespect to Liam, but Henry Cavill was Geralt,” one fan tweeted.
“I’ll give it a chance… but if the writing is bad, I’m done.”

With The Witcher already struggling with divisive writing and pacing issues, Netflix is taking a huge risk by recasting its lead.

Will it pay off? Or will this be the beginning of the end for The Witcher?

Season 4’s Story: Where Will We Go Next?

With Ciri’s transformation, Yennefer’s uncertain fate, and the looming war, The Witcher Season 4 has a lot to unpack.

Here’s what we know so far about the plot:

 Ciri’s Dark Path: After her heartbreaking journey in Season 3, Ciri may finally embrace her “Falka” persona, tapping into her forbidden Elder Blood powers.

 The Battle for the Continent: Nilfgaard, Redania, and the Scoia’tael are all on a collision course. Who will rise and who will fall?

 Yennefer’s Future: Now that she’s taken over Aretuza, what will she do with her newfound power? And will she and Geralt reunite?

 Geralt’s Personal War: With Liam Hemsworth taking over, Geralt’s journey may shift toward his monster-hunting roots—but will fans accept the change?

Netflix is staying tight-lipped, but insiders suggest Season 4 will adapt key parts of Andrzej Sapkowski’s book Baptism of Fire—one of the most action-packed entries in The Witcher saga.

The Big Question: Can The Witcher Survive Without Henry Cavill?

Here’s the harsh reality—Netflix’s The Witcher has been struggling ever since it strayed too far from the books.

Season 2 changed entire storylines.
Season 3 was met with mixed reviews and declining viewership.
Cavill’s exit left millions of fans heartbroken.

Now, Season 4 has to win back trust—and that won’t be easy.

Netflix is betting big on Liam Hemsworth, stronger storytelling, and more book-accurate adaptations to bring The Witcher back to its former glory.

But will it be enough?

What’s Next for The Witcher Universe?

Beyond Season 4, Netflix is already planning:

 Season 5: Reportedly in early development.
 More spin-offs: Another The Witcher prequel is rumored to be in the works.
 A possible animated project: Expanding the lore even further.

Despite setbacks, Netflix is all in on The Witcher.

Final Thoughts: Will You Watch Season 4?

 Are you excited for Liam Hemsworth as Geralt?
 Do you think The Witcher can survive without Henry Cavill?
 Will Season 4 fix past mistakes—or make them worse?
