As a seasoned gamer and longtime fan of The Witcher series, I must admit that the recent news about cast changes for Season 4 has left me feeling like I’ve stumbled into a tavern filled with unfamiliar faces.

Attention is building towards Netflix’s “The Witcher” for Season 4, as the show prepares to bring a fresh face to the character of Geralt of Rivia. Interestingly, it seems that Henry Cavill might not be the only witcher departing from “The Witcher” in the upcoming season.

The Netflix fantasy show, titled “The Witcher,” is based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s books and focuses on the story of Geralt, a witcher, or supernatural monster hunter. For three seasons, Henry Cavill, an avowed fan of “The Witcher,” played the role of Geralt. However, in 2022, it was revealed that Cavill would be leaving the series without specifying a reason. Despite this, production for Season 4 moved forward, with Liam Hemsworth stepping into Cavill’s shoes as Geralt.

It appears that Cavill isn’t the only actor leaving “The Witcher” in Season 4, as Kim Bodnia will no longer portray Vesemir following his role in Season 2. Redanian Intelligence has shared this news, but they couldn’t confirm who will replace Bodnia as Vesemir. However, given Redanian Intelligence’s reputation for accurate “The Witcher” information, it seems likely that this report is true. Introduced as Geralt’s mentor and a father figure to the Witchers in Season 2 of Netflix’s series, Bodnia was absent from Season 3 due to the plot shift from Kaer Morhen. Nevertheless, Vesemir is expected to reappear in Season 4, but not with Bodnia in the role.

It seems Bodnia’s exit from the series remains vague, but since his character didn’t appear in Season 3, it might be that he secured other jobs while absent from the show, leading to potential schedule conflicts. Given that Bodnia is a prolific actor, he will next be seen in Joseph Kosinski’s film F1 with Brad Pitt, and in Momo alongside Martin Freeman. Furthermore, Redanian Intelligence reports that Lambert and Coen from The Witcher will return in Season 4, with Paul Bullion and Zates Atour reprising their roles. This hints at a gathering of the Witchers in The Witcher Season 4, which should be refreshing after they weren’t together in Season 3.

Netflix’s “The Witcher” has garnered a mix of positive and negative feedback throughout its series. Many have lauded Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt, but some viewers were displeased with the show’s departure from Sapkowski’s novels. Bodnia’s performance as Vesemir in Season 2 was widely appreciated, but a new actor will take over that role for Season 4, introducing yet another change to “The Witcher” in its upcoming season. On a positive note, Laurence Fishburne is joining the cast of “The Witcher” for Season 4 as the beloved character Regis, ensuring there’s no shortage of talent. As for the numerous cast changes, they might help “The Witcher” embark on a fresh chapter in Season 4, hopefully appealing to fans in a new and exciting way.

The Witcher Seasons 1-3 are available to watch on Netflix.
