The iconic White Wolf is making his final stand. Production for the much-anticipated fifth and final season of *The Witcher* is now in full swing, 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, shared by the dedicated fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase the *Hunger Games* star in full costume, complete with Geralt's signature long blonde hair. Alongside Hemsworth, familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier, who have been with the series since Henry Cavill's tenure, are also featured.
Liam Hemsworth was announced as Henry Cavill's replacement for Season 4 and the concluding Season 5 back in October 2022. The excitement around these new images is palpable, and fans can now get a glimpse of the new Geralt in action.

In addition to the returning cast, the set photos also reveal new characters set to join the series in Season 4 and continue through to the final season. Among them is the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in *Morbius*, who will portray Emiel Reigs.
The leaked images have sparked speculation among fans that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's *Tower of the Swallow*, particularly the scenes involving beekeepers and druids. However, with Season 4 yet to be released, the narrative could take any turn, and there's still much to explore before the final pieces of the puzzle come together.
Henry Cavill isn't the only one who has departed from the series. Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's father figure and mentor Vesemir, will not be returning due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement, and there is no official release date for Season 4 at this time.
