"[I had] a lot of concerns and questions about it all. I was a big fan of the video game and then I watched the series, and was a fan of the series, and I read the books,"
"I think if I wasn't a fan myself, if I didn't care about it, I wouldn't have come on board. The reason I came on board was because I was a fan, and because I thought that I could do justice to this character. I thought that could bring an interesting interpretation to this part of the story,"
"We knew there were things that were really important to keep with Geralt--obviously, his look has to stay the same,"
"He's a different human being, but I think there's so many things that are sort of synonymous with Geralt--the white wig and the yellow eyes and the black leather and not wearing any color, and the way he walks through the world."
"He needed to make Geralt his, and it was really important to let him do that and let him explore it and find it,"
Liam Hemsworth will portray Geralt for The Witcher seasons 4 and 5, taking over from Henry Cavill. Hemsworth initially felt reluctant and raised many concerns when first approached, citing his fandom of the video games, series, and books. He worried about stepping into a role with an established, passionate Cavill fanbase but ultimately joined because he believed he could do justice and offer an interesting interpretation. Showrunner Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich emphasized preserving Geralt's iconic look—white wig, yellow eyes, black leather, muted colors—and also encouraged Hemsworth to develop a distinct, personal take on the character. Season 4 debuts October 30 on Netflix, with Laurence Fishburne joining and a fifth final season planned.
