In the new season, Hemsworth wil step in to replace Henry Cavill in the lead role. Cavill and Hemsworth both posted about the change in position in October 2022.

\"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,\" Cavill wrote.

Hemsworth accepted the role with excitement on Instagram and also acknowledged the work Cavill had done.

\"As a Witcher fan I'm over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia. Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I'm honoured that he's handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf's blades for the next chapter of his adventure,\" he wrote.
