The Witcher Season 4 Debuts on Netflix With Liam Hemsworth as Geralt

Critics say the premiere neatly explains the new Geralt through an in‑story retelling.

Overview

  • All eight episodes released Oct. 30 on Netflix mark the penultimate season of the series.
  • The premiere addresses the recast by reframing past events through a storyteller device and re‑shot moments featuring Hemsworth.
  • Early reviews are divided, with praise for production values and some performances alongside criticism of uneven tone and cluttered plotting.
  • This season draws primarily from Andrzej Sapkowski’s Baptism of Fire with elements of The Tower of the Swallows.
  • New and expanded roles include Laurence Fishburne as Regis, with Milva and Zoltan joining Geralt’s orbit, and Netflix has confirmed a fifth and final season.
