It appears that Liam Hemsworth’s first appearance as Geralt in The Witcher has faced delay. The filming of season 4 has been kept to a halt, which suggests that we may have to wait longer than anticipated to witness his debut.
According to Redanian Intelligence, the filming of the next season of the popular Netflix show was originally scheduled to begin in September 2023 and end in May 2024. However, the production has been delayed and the new start date is currently unknown, sometime in 2024.
The reason behind the delay for the Netflix series is unknown but it is expected that it can be due to the ongoing strike action by SAG-AFTRA, which means that the actors of Hollywood are striking for better pay and working conditions.
The Witcher had planned to continue filming despite the writers’ strike, but Netflix apparently isn’t predicting the actors’ strike will end before September.
Liam Hemsworth is playing the leading role of monster hunter Geralt of Rivia in season 4 as Henry Cavill has now exited the series after three seasons.
This means that if Netflix sticks to its normal timeline, it’s unlikely that we’ll see Hemsworth’s character again until sometime in 2025.

The Witcher Season 4 Update (2026)
Updated July 2026. Filming resumed after the strike delay covered here, and Liam Hemsworth made his debut as Geralt of Rivia when all eight episodes of Season 4 premiered on Netflix on October 30, 2025. The season, which also introduced Laurence Fishburne as the vampire barber-surgeon Regis, topped Netflix’s global streaming charts on release. Reviews and fan reaction were mixed on Hemsworth’s take on the role and the season’s storytelling, and the show saw a steep viewership drop-off in the weeks after its debut, leaving the franchise’s direction for its final seasons an open question.
