The White Wolf is back for one final adventure. Production for the much-anticipated fifth and final season of *The Witcher* is currently in full swing, and fans are buzzing with excitement over new set photos that have surfaced online. These images, which have been shared by the dedicated *Witcher* fan site Redanian Intelligence, feature Liam Hemsworth stepping into the iconic role of Geralt de Rivia, previously played by Henry Cavill. Hemsworth is seen sporting the character's signature long blonde hair and full costume, embodying the essence of the legendary witcher.
The set photos also include familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang reprising her role as Milva and Joey Batey returning as the beloved bard Jaskier. Both actors have been part of the series since Henry Cavill led the show. Hemsworth was announced as Cavill's replacement for Season 4 and the concluding Season 5 back in October 2022, marking a significant transition for the series.

In addition to these returning characters, the set images reveal new faces joining the cast for Season 4, who will also appear in the final season. Notably, acclaimed actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his roles in *Morbius* and *The Matrix*, will portray Emiel Regis, adding a fresh dynamic to the ensemble.
These leaked photos have sparked speculation among fans that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's *Tower of the Swallow*, particularly with scenes involving beekeepers and druids. However, with Season 4 yet to be released, the narrative could take any number of turns, leaving plenty of room for anticipation and conjecture.
It's not just Cavill who has left the show; Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's mentor Vesemir, will also not be returning for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement, keeping fans in suspense. Additionally, there is still no official release date for Season 4, adding to the anticipation for the next chapter in this epic saga.
