The official synopsis released by Netflix reads, “After the continent-altering events of season 3, Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri find themselves separated by a raging war and countless enemies.

“As their paths diverge and their goals sharpen, they stumble on unexpected allies eager to join their journeys. And if they can accept these found families, they just might have a chance at reuniting for good.”

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Liam Hemsworth earlier opened up about playing Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher season 4 and recalled how there was a lot of “noise” when the recasting news came out.

He said that he had to put all the chatter aside as it was distracting him. He added that he has dealt with all this in the past and does not want anything to affect his storytelling.

Hemsworth further called himself a fan of Cavil, who earlier portrayed Geralt, and appreciated his work in the show.
