About The Witcher Season 4

The streaming giant shared the poster of the eight-episode series and wrote, "The best dressed cast on the Continent. The Witcher S4. Coming October 30." The Witcher is based on themes including fate versus free will, professional ethics, and the idea that 'humans are often more wicked than beasts."

Plot

The storyline of The Witcher centres on three principal characters whose destinies are interconnected: Geralt, a beast slayer; Ciri, a wandering princess; and Yennefer, a formidable mage. Their narratives unfold in distinct times and places, yet their journeys ultimately align in a strong, communal fate. This season will introduce Liam Hemsworth as the new Geralt of Rivia, replacing Henry Cavill.
