The Witcher Series Shares First Look At Liam Hemsworth's Geralt

Netflix has shared the first official clip from Season 4 of The Witcher, which gives us a sneak peek at Liam Hemsworth's take on Geralt of Rivia after replacing Henry Cavill.

At the very least, we can say that Hemsworth has mastered the iconic Geralt glare. Let's hope he gets the rest of the character as well as Cavill did.

Of course, while Netflix is calling this the "first look" at The Witcher Season 4, we've actually
