Netflix’s The Witcher series should soon welcome an iconic character from the work created by Andrzej Sapkowski. He will be embodied by a cult character.
With each announcement of adaptation of a novel or a video game on the small screen, the choices of actors make a lot of noise. We can even say that they often trigger controversy. In this respect, the adaptation of The Witcher produced by Netflix is doing quite well. The most important role, that of Geralt de Riv, went to Henry Cavill. From the first minutes of season 1, the British actor seems to have been unanimous with the public. His popularity was confirmed … when he announced his departure from the Netflix series after only three seasons. Even before the start of the broadcast of season 3, on June 29, Netflix is already working on the fourth season of the show. A cult character from Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel would be present and occupy a major role.

According to the media Redanian Intelligence, it is the character of Régis created by Andrzej Sapkowski who should have a central role in season 4 of The Witcher. Proof of this is that Netflix is actively looking for a confirmed movie star to play it. And the production would think more particularly of a big name who would be around sixty.

A few days ago, Sophie Holland, casting director of the show, indicated that the filming of season 4 with Liam Hemsworth in the role of Geralt de Riv was about to start. This season 5 will begin shortly after, to the delight of fans … provided that Liam Hemsworth takes over from Henry Cavill brilliantly. The arrival of a movie star to embody Régis should relieve the Australian actor a little, who will still have a lot of pressure.
