Netflix’s The Witcher recasting another major character for season 4

As a die-hard fan of The Witcher series, I must admit that the constant changes and recastings have left me feeling like a tumbleweed blown by the wind of uncertainty! First it was Geralt, now Vesemir – my heart can’t take this emotional rollercoaster!


The character actor Kim Bodnia will no longer be a part of “The Witcher” series before its fourth season on Netflix.

Over the past year, there’s been a significant change in the cast of the fantasy series, as Liam Hemsworth steps into the lead character of Geralt, previously played by Henry Cavill.

The production for the fourth season is currently in progress, but unfortunately, we’ve encountered another hurdle as it appears that actor Kim Bodnia, who portrayed Geralt’s mentor and father figure Vesemir, has withdrawn from the project. This information comes from RadioTimes.

According to the report, it appears that Bodnia left due to a scheduling issue stemming from his work on the Apple TV+ movie F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt. The role of Vesemir has not been filled yet, but producers are actively searching for a replacement actor.

Although the fourth season encountered another delay, Hemsworth, known for his roles in The Hunger Games series, enthusiastically looks forward to embodying Geralt. He admitted being a fan of the show.

Excited as a Witcher fan, he shared how thrilled he is to play Geralt of Rivia in the upcoming game. Henry Cavill has done an outstanding job portraying Geralt, and it’s an honor for him to step into Cavill’s shoes, taking on the White Wolf’s swords for the next stage of the story.

dear Henry, I’ve admired your work for quite a while now and the way you breathed life into that cherished character was truly inspiring. Taking on the challenge of joining the Witcher universe might mean having some large shoes to follow, but I am genuinely thrilled about the opportunity!

While Hemsworth eagerly anticipates starting work, Freya Allan, known for her role as Ciri of Cintra in the series, previously expressed apprehension about the show’s comeback. However, her mood brightened instantly when she stepped onto the set.

She admitted to ComicBook that she had been apprehensive about it for some time, but once she got started, the renowned director making it enjoyable has turned it into a blast. She expressed her delight, stating there’s so much exciting material to work with. To be truthful, she’s quite content now.

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that you can stream the captivating journeys of Geralt and the world of The Witcher in seasons 1-3, along with the intriguing spin-off, The Witcher: Blood Origin, all on Netflix. Excitingly, we’ve got a confirmed Season 4 to look forward to!
