The Witcher Netflix series based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s best-selling books, and drawing some inspiration from CD Projekt Red’s video games, has announced a major change for Season 4.

While Season 3 will play out as normal with Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, it’s been announced Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games, Independence Day: Resurgence) will replace him in the following season.

In a statement on Netflix’s website, the British actor wished the 32-year-old Australian actor all the best as the White Wolf:

“My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4. In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth assumerà il ruolo di White Wolf. Come con il più grande dei personaggi letterari, Passo la torcia con riverenza per il tempo trascorso a incarnare Geralt ed entusiasmo nel vedere l'interpretazione di Liam di questo uomo così affascinante e ricco di sfumature. Liam, buon signore, questo personaggio ha una profondità così meravigliosa per lui, divertiti a tuffarti e vedere cosa riesci a trovare.”

Hemsworth mentioned how he’s a fan of The Witcher and has been a fan of Cavill for many years, and is thrilled about his new adventure. This announcement follows the news earlier this week that Henry Cavill would be reprising his role as Superman in the DC universe.

In una nota correlata, CD Projekt Red announced a remake of the original Witcher game this week. Questo titolo è stato rilasciato per la prima volta in 2007 and will be rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5. The new version is being developed by Polish studio Fool’s Theory – with veteran Witcher series staff helping out.

CDPR is still working on the next-gen update for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt anche, and intends to release it by Q4 2022. This will also come with some new DLC inspired by the Netflix show, che è stata previously confirmed for Nintendo Switch by the Polish company:

“the DLCs are not exclusive to the next-gen version, they will be available for every version of the game (compresi PS4, Xbox One and Switch)”
