The Witcher Set Photos Give Fans a First Look at Liam Hemsworth's Geralt in Season 5

The iconic White Wolf, Geralt of Rivia, is making his final appearance in the much-anticipated fifth season of *The Witcher*. Production is now in full swing, and fans are buzzing with excitement as new set photos featuring Liam Hemsworth as the lead have surfaced online. These images, which were leaked and shared by the fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase Hemsworth fully transformed into Geralt, complete with the character's distinctive long blonde hair. Alongside him, familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang reprising her role as Milva and Joey Batey returning as Jaskier add to the excitement. Hemsworth took over the role from Henry Cavill, who led the series until the announcement of his departure in October 2022, which saw Hemsworth stepping in for both Season 4 and the concluding Season 5.

In addition to the returning cast, the leaked set photos also introduced new characters set to make their debut in Season 4 and carry through to the final season. Among them is the acclaimed actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in *Morbius*, who will portray Emiel Reigs. These glimpses into the upcoming seasons have sparked speculation among fans that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's *Tower of the Swallow*, where Geralt encounters beekeepers and is directed towards druids. However, with Season 4 still pending release, the narrative could take any number of exciting turns, leaving fans eager to see how the story unfolds.

It's not just Cavill who has left the series; Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's mentor Vesemir, will also not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement or provide an official release date for Season 4, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they await more news on the beloved series.
