The Witcher: Season 4 will premiere on Netflix on October 30, the streamer announced Saturday during the Canelo vs. Crawford fight. New key art, photos and the first clip featuring Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia were also released.
The action-packed clip shows Geralt battling a nightwraith. The new photos, which can be seen in the slideshow below, give us our first official look at Laurence Fishburne as Regis.
Liam Hemsworth, of course, replaced Henry Cavill, who left the show at the end of Season 3. Cavill’s Geralt was last seen walking off into the woods with sidekicks Jaskier (Joey Batey) and Milva (Meng’er Zhang).
“This is the beginning of a two-season journey for our family to finally reunite and be together — hopefully forever,” The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt told Tudum.com about Season 4.
The season’s official plot synopsis reads: “After the Continent-altering events of Season Three, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri find themselves separated by a raging war and countless enemies. As their paths diverge, and their goals sharpen, they stumble on unexpected allies eager to join their journeys. And if they can accept these found families, they just might have a chance at reuniting for good…”
The Witcher’s penultimate season is composed of eight episodes that run 50 minutes each. The series will end with Season 5.
