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

The White Wolf is making his final appearance as production for the fifth and concluding season of *The Witcher* is now in full swing. Fans have been treated to a sneak peek through what appears to be leaked set photos, showcasing Liam Hemsworth stepping into the iconic role of Geralt de Rivia. These images, which surfaced on the fan-favorite site Redanian Intelligence, capture Hemsworth fully embodying the character with his signature long blonde hair. Alongside him, familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier are seen, both of whom have been integral to the series since Henry Cavill's portrayal of Geralt. Hemsworth's casting as the new Geralt was announced in October 2022, set to take over from Season 4 through the final season.

The set photos also introduced new characters joining the fray in Season 4 and continuing into the final season, including the renowned actor Laurence Fishburne as Emiel Regis. These glimpses have sparked speculation among fans that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's *Tower of the Swallow*, particularly the narrative involving Geralt's encounter with beekeepers who guide him towards druids. However, with Season 4 still pending release, the storyline remains wide open, leaving plenty of room for surprises and developments before fans can fully piece together the narrative.

It's not just Cavill who has departed the series; Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's mentor Vesemir, will also not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. As of now, Netflix has yet to reveal who will take over the role of Vesemir, and there's no official release date set for Season 4 either. As anticipation builds for the concluding chapters of this beloved series, fans eagerly await more details and the continuation of Geralt's saga.
