The Witcher season 4 complete cast breakdown: All new and returning stars and where you've seen them before

Netflix’s The Witcher explodes into its fourth season on October 30, 2025, with another darker, layered iteration of Andrzej Sapkowski's ageless fantasy series. Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich takes great care in executing her adaptation of Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake into her storyline of war, betrayal, and fate. 

After the torrents of Season 3's devastating finale, Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri are separated by a continent embroiled in chaos - and each on a dangerous new path. This season features Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia, replacing Henry Cavill, in a casting change that will surely lead to excitement but also all debates amongst fans. 

Expect raw on-screen battle sequences, Geralt being challenged by a malignant wraith, and heartfelt reunion moments as the stakes grow. With returning stars and an exciting new cast, it should bring new life to this penultimate season and will traverse through an almost familiar world on a landslide.
