So I think that is is super important." All that goodwill on Geralt's part gets him exactly what he wants right as he can't have it. This season hammered home The Witcher's series-long dream of wanting to be a white knight rather than a fear monster hunter.

Kom Bodnia originally played Geralt of Rivia's mentor Vesemir in The Witcher, but he was replaced in season 4 of the Netflix fantasy show. Here's why.

Netflix’s “The Witcher” Season 4 is here with Liam Hemsworth taking over for Henry Cavill. Will the show be returning for a fifth season? Find out what is planned.

"The Witcher" became an instant hit with fans, as Cavill seemed to fit into the role of Geralt in a way that nobody could have imagined. The high fantasy series became a huge talking point in the first season, with many praising the adored actor in his portrayal of the beloved novel and video game character.

The Witcher Season 4 ends with Geralt and his friends helping a bunch of Northern soldiers defeat Nilfgaardian troops. To honor his heroism, Queen Meve (Rebecca Hanssen) knights our guy Sir Geralt of Rivia. However, this gift soon becomes a curse as Meve adds that Geralt must serve her and only her for the rest of his life. Geralt says, “Fuck.”

By the time the Season 4 finale “Baptism of Fire” arrives, that transformation is complete. Geralt realizes his childhood dream only to find it hollow. Ciri loses the last of her innocence. Yennefer stands among the ashes of Montecalvo, gathers what remains of a broken order, then walks into a storm to face the man who destroyed it.

There was no way Cavill's Geralt was about to return in season four as a new man, only bearing the same old injuries, without the series addressing it. The fandom wouldn't allow it. So how, in fact, does The Witcher's fourth season deal with this huge recasting? Well allow us to tell you.
