The White Wolf is back for his final adventure. Production for the much-anticipated fifth and final season of *The Witcher* is currently underway, and fans have been treated to new photos of Liam Hemsworth stepping into the iconic role of Geralt de Rivia. These seemingly leaked set photos, available on the fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase Hemsworth in full costume, complete with Geralt's signature long blonde hair. Alongside him, familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier, who have been part of the series since Henry Cavill's tenure, are also featured. Hemsworth was announced as Cavill's replacement for both Season 4 and the concluding Season 5 back in October 2022.

In addition to the returning cast, set images have surfaced showing new characters introduced in Season 4, who will also appear in the final season. Among them is the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in *Morbius*, who will portray Emiel Reigs.
These leaked set photos have sparked speculation among fans that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's *Tower of the Swallow*, particularly the scenes involving Geralt meeting beekeepers who guide him toward druids. However, with Season 4 yet to be released, the narrative could take any number of turns, leaving ample room for anticipation and speculation.
Henry Cavill isn't the only actor to depart the series; Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's father figure and mentor Vesemir, will also not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement for the role, and there is no official release date for Season 4, adding to the mystery and excitement surrounding the series' future.
