Overview
- Speaking at the Golden Joystick Awards, Doug Cockle said he was sad to see Henry Cavill depart but felt Liam Hemsworth "holds up pretty well" and has made the role his own.
- Cockle called Hemsworth’s work a "fantastic job," even as he acknowledged Cavill was a "fantastic Witcher."
- His remarks arrive as critics note a muted impact for Hemsworth and as season 4 draws mixed-to-poor notices alongside softer viewership versus earlier seasons.
- Netflix’s live-action run is slated to end with season 5, which was filmed alongside season 4 and is expected to arrive in late 2026.
- Cockle, who originated Geralt’s voice in CD Projekt Red’s games, is set to reprise the role in the next main Witcher game.
