Netflix’s Season 4 of The Witcher marks a pivotal transition for the fantasy franchise — one that feels both ambitious and uneven. With Liam Hemsworth stepping into the role of Geralt of Rivia after Henry Cavill’s departure, the series attempts to balance fresh momentum with the weight of fan expectations.

Hemsworth brings a distinct energy to the role — more rugged and restrained — while the show’s production values remain as stunning as ever. The season leans heavily on cinematic combat sequences, sweeping landscapes, and a darker tone, signalling Netflix’s intent to keep The Witcher among its flagship franchises.

However, the emotional thread that anchored earlier seasons — particularly Geralt’s evolving relationship with Ciri (Freya Allan) and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) — feels diluted at times amid the expanded world-building and political subplots. The pacing alternates between gripping and sluggish, with standout moments overshadowed by narrative sprawl.

Critics have praised the show’s visual scale and stronger continuity, but opinions remain divided over the new tone and character dynamics. Hemsworth’s performance, while promising, still sits in the shadow of Cavill’s stoic interpretation that defined the series’ early success.

Despite its inconsistencies, The Witcher remains one of Netflix’s most compelling fantasy properties, setting the stage for a potentially redemptive Season 5.
