Geralt von Rivia is being recast in the Netflix series “The Witcher”: We saw Henry Cavill in the role of the witcher for three seasons, and the last three episodes of this era will be released on Netflix on July 27, 2023. Liam Hemsworth will take over from season 4 and a fifth season is currently planned with him as his successor. Why Geralt suddenly looks different, according to the series creators, must be explained coherently and according to the rules of the fantasy universe – but what exactly does he look like, the new Geralt?
Jaskier already knows the new Geralt
Liam Hemsworth should also appear on screen with silver gray locks and yellow gold eyes. Though we’ll have to wait quite a while before we get our first glimpse of the “new Geralt”. Joey Batey already seen him however, cannot disclose details.
“I’ve seen some of his makeup tests, but we’re not going to tell you much about that,” the Jaskier actor shared. . Hemsworth brings something “fresh and invigorating” to the role, the veteran The Witcher star continued.
And “The Witcher” producer Tomek Baginski still has a lot to do. Opposite he revealed that he got to see Hemsworth not only in proper makeup, but even in full Geralt gear: “And he looks great!”
Season 3 Part 1 has been a flop on Netflix so far
Even if the fourth season is already being diligently prepared, we won’t be seeing it any time soon – because Hollywood is currently on hold due to writers’ and actors’ strikes. And anyway, the future of the fantasy franchise is not looking good, as the first part of the third season has not lived up to Netflix’s expectations so far. And we know that Netflix can pull the plug on a show if it isn’t streamed enough.
However, the tide could still turn when it comes to the ratings for season 3 of “The Witcher”. Because the season isn’t over yet: Episodes 6 through 8 of Season 3 will be available on July 27. And it’s entirely possible that many fans simply waited the month between the release of Part 1 and Part 2 to binge-watch the entire season in one go rather than watch it in pieces.
