The White Wolf is back for the last time, as production for the final season of *The Witcher*, Season 5, is currently underway. Fans have been treated to new set photos of Liam Hemsworth taking on the iconic role of Geralt of Rivia. These seemingly leaked images, available via the fan site Redanian Intelligence, showcase Hemsworth fully transformed into the character with his signature long blonde hair. Alongside him are familiar faces such as Meng'er Zhang reprising her role as Milva and Joey Batey returning as Jaskier, both of whom have been integral to the series since Henry Cavill led the cast. Hemsworth was announced as Cavill's replacement for both Season 4 and the fifth and final season back in October 2022.

The set photos also feature new characters introduced in Season 4, who will carry over into the final season. One notable addition is the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in *Morbius*, stepping in as Emiel Regis. These images have sparked speculation among fans that Season 5 may draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski’s *Tower of the Swallow*, particularly the part where Geralt encounters beekeepers who guide him toward 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 departed 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, adding another layer of intrigue for fans eagerly awaiting the release of Season 4, which still lacks an official release date.
