Liam Hemsworth's debut in The Witcher seems to have hit its first bump – filming on season 4 has now been put on hold, meaning that significဣant delays are likely before we se🀅e his first outing as Geralt.

Filming on the next ins🔯tallment of the Netflix hit was meant to start in September 2023 before wrapping𒅌 up in May 2024. However, production has now been pushed back until a still unknown date in 2024, according to . 

Netflix hasn't given a reason for this delay but it's likely due to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ongoing strike action by SAG-AFTRA, which means Hollywood actors are striking for better pay and working conditions. The Witcher had planned to continue filming despite the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:writers' strike, but Netflix is evide🙈ntly not predicting an end to the actors' strike before September.

Season 4 will see Liam Hemsworth take over the lead role of monster hunter Geralt of Rivia, since 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:He🐓nry Cavill has now exited the serieꦦs after thrওee seasons. This means it's unlikely that we'll see Hemsworth's tak💃e on the character until sometime in 2025 if Netflix follows its usual timeline. Season 3 wrapped filming back in September 2022 and volume 1 was released this June – that's a period of 14 months.   

Hemsworth's casting was announced back in October 2022, but we have yet to get our first glimpse of him in costume. However, producer Tomek Baginski 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recently said that he'd already seen 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Hunger Games actor "in Witcher 𓂃makeup and in the Witcher look. And he looks awesome."

The Witcher season 3 volume 2 arrives on Netflix on July 27. For more viewing inspiration, check out our picks of the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix shows to add to your watch list.
