Additionally, The Matrix and John Wick star Laurence Fishburne joins the cast as Regis, introducing some exciting new characters.
Details have been kept under wraps so far, but Siri actress Alan has provided a very welcome update, confirming that she has seen the script.
In an interview with RadioTimes.com, she said: “Honestly, I'm interested in how they translate that story in the book, because…for Ciri's journey, it's a very important moment in her storyline, and it takes quite a while. Because it takes a dark turn. ”

The Witcher season 4 is expected to arrive sooner than summer 2025.
Filming is reportedly set to begin in March 2024, with director Allan confirming that the cast is starting to look at the script.
The series was affected by last year's WGA strike. We'll update this page as soon as we hear anything more about a potential or confirmed release date.

The following stars are expected to appear in Season 4 of The Witcher:
Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia as Yennefer in Vengerberg Anya Chalotrasiri as Freya Aaransiri as Joey Bateijaskia as Bert Edwards as Emhyr/White Frame as Francis Pooley Therin as Mahesh Jadou Vilgefortz as Lois・Pierreson as Isred Messiah Simson as Francesca as Mimi Ndiweni as Fringilla as Terika Wilson-Reid as Sabrina Anna Shaffer as Tolis as Radovid Graham as Hugh Skinner as MacTavish as Dykstra Kathy Clare as Phillipa Wilson Mbomio as Dara
As previously mentioned, Henry Cavill will not appear in Season 4 of The Witcher after shocking fans and the entertainment industry with his decision to drop out of the role of Geralt.
Instead, Liam Hemsworth will lead the cast in perhaps the most high-profile performance since the Hunger Games series ended in 2015. Fans are divided on his choice, but once you see his performance, you might be convinced.
In a previous interview with RadioTimes.com, executive producer Tomek Baginski teased how the series would handle Geralt's recasting.
He said: 'Lauren [Schmidt Hissrich, showrunner] and her team, and we have some really great writers coming back to the writers room for Season 4. I think they created a really great opening that is faithful to the original work.
“This is a very small thing that I tease. People who know this book deeply also know that this is not your typical fantasy book. It's not just one world. And it’s not just one story happening within those stories.”
Cast members Anya Chalotra and Joey Battey also chatted with RadioTimes.com and revealed that Hemsworth was undergoing “training” in preparation for filming.
Chalotra said, “Yes, I checked in.”

Joey Beatty, who plays Jaskier, said of his preparations, “A lot of emails! But to be honest, I think he just uses this time before filming to train, read all the books, study, and dedicate himself to this project.'' ” he added.
“You can't ask for anything more than to be fully committed to this role, and that's what he's doing. We're all really excited.”
He's not the only newcomer on the scene.
The Matrix star Laurence Fishburne has joined the cast as Regis. Regis, from Andrzej Sapkowski's novel Baptism of Fire, is a world-famous barber surgeon with a mysterious past who accompanies Geralt on his journey in Season 4.
Fishburne said of his new role: “I'm thrilled to be joining the cast and look forward to exploring the incredible world of The Witcher.”
A number of other familiar faces also appear, with Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra reprising their roles as Princess Ciri of Vengerberg and Yennefer, respectively, and Joey Batey returning as Jaskier.

We also expect Danny/The White Flame to play a bigger role after the complete cliffhanger at the end of the latest film.
However, some fan favorites are unlikely to return, especially Myanna Birling after Tissaia de Vries' tragic death in season 3.
Throughout the show, Tissaia was like a mother figure to Yennefer and the other wizards. However, after her repeated heartbreaks, in Season 3, Tissaia decides that she has no choice but to take her own life.
Burling became emotional as she explained Tissaia's case, telling RadioTimes.com: She said: “She feels completely responsible for the deaths of so many people that ultimately she can no longer live with herself.
“I think the pain is excruciating, and after feeling for so long that I could be an important help to the kingdom, Arethusa, and the future of Chaos, I suddenly find myself feeling helpless. I noticed it inside.

“And I think that's why the end is the only possibility for her. She's not in the future. The others are in the future. And that leaves this great gang.”
Also not scheduled to return is Visimir (Ed Birch), who was killed in the Season 3 finale as part of a plot to put his brother Radovid (Hugh Skinner) on the throne.
Meanwhile, season 3 turned tragic for Francesca. Francesca not only lost her newborn baby, but also her younger brother Gage (Cain Zajas) and her husband Phila Vandrell (Tom Canton). While we don't expect these characters to return, their loss will almost certainly have a major impact on Francesca's story in season 4.

According to Alan's explanation, Siri's journey is about to get dark.
The new season could also include some long-awaited developments, at least according to star Joey Battey.
“There's this thing called Hansa and we're looking forward to exploring it. I think this is a bit of a fan favorite moment,” he told Metro, adding that the team Geralt assembled to rescue Ciri mentioned.
Other plot details are being kept under wraps, but we can't wait to see what else the season has to offer!
The series is based on Sapkowski's book, but Sapkowski recently suggested that his ideas weren't being incorporated as much as he had hoped.
In an interview with YouTube channel Cerealkillerz (via Variety) at Vienna Comic Con, The Witcher creator revealed that he visited the set and provided input for the show, but that none of his ideas were used. Stated.
“The set was amazing. It was amazing…I gave them some ideas and they didn't listen to me at all,” Sapkowski said with a laugh. “It's normal. 'Who is this? A writer. Nobody.'”
However, Sapkowski admitted that this is not unusual for him. The author has written numerous books, including a video game series.
