The Witcher season 4 release date announced as Liam Hemsworth stars in thrilling new clip

During Saturday night's eagerly awaited Canelo vs Crawford boxing bout, Netflix unveiled a brand new exclusive preview from series 4 of their popular programme, The Witcher.

Viewers were treated to previously unseen material featuring Liam Hemsworth as the fresh Geralt of Rivia in a spine-tingling new sequence.

Additionally, Netflix disclosed the premiere date for series 4, confirming it will debut on October 30, 2025.

Through a pre-recorded announcement for fight spectators, the renowned Hunger Games star declared: "Hey everyone, Liam Hemsworth here.

"I am excited to announce that Season 4 of The Witcher will be streaming on Netflix, October 30th. Here is a quick clip of me in action as Geralt of Rivia."

Cavill portrayed the role throughout the initial three series of the Netflix production, but will be succeeded by Hemsworth in the forthcoming series, allegedly departing due to artistic disagreements.

The official Netflix description for The Witcher series 4 states: "After the Continent-altering events of Season Three, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri find themselves separated by a raging war and countless enemies.

"As their paths diverge, and their goals sharpen, they stumble on unexpected allies eager to join their journeys. And if they can accept these found families, they just might have a chance at reuniting for good..."

The Witcher season 4, consisting of eight 50-minute episodes, is the brainchild of Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, who also holds the roles of Showrunner and Executive Producer.

Joining Hemsworth in the cast are Sherwood's Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Freya Allan as Princess Cirilla of Cintra, Whitechapel's Joey Batey as Jaskier, and The Matrix legend Laurence Fishburne as Regis.

The star-studded ensemble also includes Hollyoaks' Anna Shaffer, Doctor Who's Mimi M Khayisa, Bridgerton's Cassie Clare, Neighbours' Mahesh Jadu, Meng'er Zhang from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Outlander stalwart Graham McTavish.

The Witcher season 4 is coming to Netflix on October 30, 2025.
