The new era of Geralt of Rivia has arrived. Netflix debuted the first footage of Liam Hemsworth as “The Witcher” during the Canelo vs. Crawford fight on Saturday night. Season 4 of the fantasy drama will premiere on the streamer Oct. 30.
Set after the Continent-changing events of Season 3, this upcoming season will see Geralt (Hemsworth), Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and Ciri (Freya Allan) separated once again and surrounded by enemies as a war wages around them. They will stumble upon unexpected allies in their quest to see each other again.
“This is the beginning of a two-season journey for our family to finally reunite and be together — hopefully forever,” Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich told Tudum.com about this upcoming season.
