The long-awaited teaser trailer for “The Witcher: Season 4” (2025) has finally arrived, promising an epic continuation of the fantasy series that has captivated audiences worldwide. With a new chapter comes a new face for the iconic role of Geralt of Rivia, as the show shifts its narrative focus while maintaining the high-stakes action, intricate political intrigue, and dark fantasy elements fans have come to love.
Plot Overview
Season 4 of The Witcher picks up in the wake of Geralt’s (played by Henry Cavill in the previous seasons) departure, as Liam Hemsworth steps into the role of the beloved monster hunter. The teaser hints at the shift in Geralt’s world after the catastrophic events of Season 3, which saw major power struggles across the continent and devastating losses.
In this new season, Geralt faces even greater threats as the lands of the Continent are engulfed in war. Ciri (Freya Allan) is now fully aware of her power and the destiny that awaits her, which will play a central role in the upcoming conflicts. Meanwhile, Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) continues to wrestle with her past decisions and her connection to Geralt, while also navigating the volatile politics of the Northern Kingdoms.
The teaser teases glimpses of the Wild Hunt, the enigmatic and terrifying force that looms large in the coming season. New alliances will be forged, ancient enemies will rise, and the battle for control over magic and power intensifies, with Geralt forced to confront both personal demons and larger existential threats.
What’s New in Season 4?
Liam Hemsworth steps into Geralt’s boots after Henry Cavill’s departure from the role, and while the teaser offers only brief glimpses of the new Geralt, the challenge ahead for the actor is clear: to continue portraying the character’s rugged determination and complex morality while adding his own unique interpretation. Hemsworth’s casting has been met with mixed reactions, but the teaser suggests that the transition will be handled with care, maintaining the character’s essential traits while adding a fresh perspective.
