Witcher Season 4 Preview: Fans React to Hemsworth’s Bold Line

LOS ANGELES, CA — As the release date for Season 4 of Netflix‘s ‘The Witcher‘ approaches, excitement and controversy swirl among fans following the debut of a new trailer. Liam Hemsworth takes over the role of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill. The trailer features a bold moment where Hemsworth’s Geralt commands his team to “Let’s f**king move,” generating mixed reactions.

Some fans argue this line strays from Geralt’s established character, known for his brooding demeanor and measured speech. In response, showrunner Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich defended the line, providing context for its placement within a battle scene. “You never know what’s going to be controversial… it makes total sense in context,” she stated in an exclusive interview.

Schmidt-Hissrich emphasized that Geralt’s character has evolved throughout the series, especially after his relationships with Yennefer and Ciri. “He is protecting someone that’s super dear to him, and his tone and mood… it’s a father figure, it’s a friend,” she explained. The shift implies a more caring side of Geralt as he faces challenges in his journey.

The new season, set to release on October 30, 2025, introduces complex dynamics as Geralt, Ciri (Freya Allan), and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) embark on separate quests across a war-torn Continent. Hemsworth shared his initial reluctance to take on the iconic role but is excited about Geralt’s current emotional state, hinting at significant character development throughout the season.

With danger lurking in every corner, fans are left wondering if the trio will reunite. As implied by the teaser, powerful foes affiliated with magic could complicate their paths. Cavill, who announced his departure in 2022, offered well-wishes to Hemsworth, acknowledging the challenges of stepping into Geralt’s boots.

As the debut nears, fans eagerly anticipate how this installment of ‘The Witcher’ will unfold, especially with the promise of a new character-driven story that explores themes of family, bravery, and the battle against insurmountable odds.
