Check out your first look at Liam Hemsworth as Geralt in The Witcher

The biggest question hanging over the upcoming fourth season of Netflix’s The Witcher has, for better or for worse, been about casting. Liam Hemsworth has replaced former Superman Henry Cavill as the monster hunter Geralt of Rivia for the show’s final two seasons, and naturally people want to know how well he slides into that snug leather armor. Netflix’s first season 4 tease is geared towards answering that question, and nothing more.

The one-minute clip slowly approaches nu-Geralt from behind in a foggy wood, closing in as Hemsworth looks over his shoulder to reveal that hey, he looks like Geralt! This is not that shocking, I suppose, as the people making this show have eyes and probably do want some kind of visual continuity here. Of course, in this very controlled and narrow glimpse, none of his co-stars or familiar haunts are present to register any dissonance, so seeing him — and more importantly, hearing him — in actual action is where the challenge lies.

As for when we’ll see any more, that remains to be seen. There’s still no official premiere date for season 4, but considering how the series left Geralt in a pretty pickle last season, it’s hard to object to The Witcher’s creative team taking its time to get our favorite mutated monster slayer’s re-introduction right.
