Sophie Holland, the casting director of the hit franchise seemingly confirmed in a new interview that season 5 of ‘The Witcher’ is in the works with Australian actor Liam Hemsworth taking up Geralt from Cavill from next season onwards.

“We’re just about to start filming on season four with Liam Hemsworth and there will be a short gap then we go straight into season five,” she said on the outing.

However, when further asked about Cavill’s departure and the reason behind it, Holland chose to remain tight-lipped on the matter.

It is pertinent to mention that Cavill announced his exit from the fantasy series last year. “My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4,” he had noted in the official statement shared by Netflix.
