These images, leaked and shared by the dedicated Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase Hemsworth donning the character's signature long blonde hair and full costume. Alongside him, familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier return, characters who were part of the series during Henry Cavill's tenure as Geralt.

The set photos also introduce new characters set to appear in Season 4 and continue into the final season, including the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in *Morbius*, who will portray Emiel Reigs. These images hint that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's *Tower of the Swallow*, where Geralt encounters beekeepers who guide him toward druids. However, with Season 4 yet to be released, the narrative could take any number of turns, leaving fans eager to see how the story unfolds.

Henry Cavill isn't the only cast member to depart the series. Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's mentor and father figure Vesemir, will not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement or provide an official release date for Season 4, keeping fans in suspense about the future of this beloved series.
