The White Wolf makes his final return as production begins on The Witcher Season 5. New leaked set photos reveal Liam Hemsworth's full transformation into Geralt of Rivia, alongside returning favorites including Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey's fan-favorite Jaskier. These images mark Hemsworth's official debut as the silver-haired monster hunter since replacing Henry Cavill back in October 2022.
A New Era Begins
The unofficial photos circulating online - shared by Witcher fan community Redanian Intelligence - showcase Hemsworth sporting Geralt's signature long white hair and armor ensemble. The images also confirm several Season 4 newcomers will continue their journey into the final season, including Laurence Fishburne (Matrix trilogy, Morbius) as Emiel Reigs.
The leaked footage suggests Season 5 may draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's Tower of the Swallow novel, potentially featuring Geralt's encounter with beekeepers directing him toward druids. With Season 4 still unreleased, the narrative direction remains unpredictable - leaving fans numerous story threads to analyze before the complete picture emerges.
Casting Changes Continue
Cavill's departure wasn't the only major recasting ahead of the final seasons. Veteran actor Kim Bodnia (Killing Eve) won't reprise his role as Vesemir due to scheduling conflicts, leaving Netflix to find a new mentor figure for Geralt's concluding chapters. The streaming giant has yet to announce Vesemir's replacement or confirm Season 4's premiere date.
