Witcher Game Voice Doug Cockle Backs Liam Hemsworth’s Geralt in Season 4

His praise offers industry validation during a season 4 run marked by weaker reviews plus lower viewing.

Overview

  • Doug Cockle said he was sad to see Henry Cavill depart but believes Liam Hemsworth “holds up pretty well” and has made Geralt his own.
  • Cockle, who originated Geralt’s voice in the games in 2007, shared his view at the Golden Joystick Awards.
  • Season 4 is streaming on Netflix with Hemsworth taking over the live‑action role from Cavill after three seasons.
  • Coverage notes softer early viewing and poorer critical response, with some editors faulting Hemsworth for not using the established Geralt voice.
  • A fifth and final season was filmed back‑to‑back with season 4 and is expected to arrive in late 2026.
