Part 4/7:
In an apparent effort to salvage the franchise, Netflix announced Liam Hemsworth would replace Cavill as Geralt in season 4. This move was widely viewed as a Hail Mary pass—an attempt to inject some star power into a sinking ship. The press releases emphasized the actor’s involvement and the show's continued expansion, but fans remained skeptical. Given the series' tarnished reputation and the backlash from prior seasons, many believe that these casting choices are too little, too late.
