At long last, we have a release date for The Witcher season four: October 30.
On Saturday night, Netflix released a first look at the new season, which sees Liam Hemsworth as the new Geralt of Rivia after Henry Cavill bowed out. We see Geralt’s still doing his monster-slaying thing, and the clip goes out of its way to assure Hemsworth’s got the look and action chops to carry the show for its final two seasons. Like the Cavill-led era, this new adventure for Geralt will span eight episodes, and unlike season three, thankfully release all at once.
Plot-wise, the logline notes Geralt, Ciri (Freya Allan), and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) remain separated after the events of season three as war brews around the Continent. “As their paths diverge, and their goals sharpen,” it reads, “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.” Along with a returning Joey Batey as Jaskier, the next season’s cast includes Laurence Fishburne, Robbie Amell, Meng’er Zhang, and Sharlto Copley.
Expect more on The Witcher as news about the season comes out. Until then, you’ve got the first three seasons to rewatch, along with the Sirens of the Deep anime film and Andrzej Sapkowski’s Crossroads of Ravens novel, which stars a young Geralt and lands September 30.
