The Witcher won’t return until the following year, but Netflix has already picked it up for the fourth season and revealed a significant alteration. The streaming behemoth said on Saturday that Liam Hemsworth, best known for his role as Gale Hawthorne in the Hunger Games movie trilogy, would take over for Henry Cavill as the main character Geralt of Rivia.
On social media, the two stars announced the casting change. In his Instagram post, Cavill added, “My trip as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with monsters and adventures; alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords.”
