Liam Hemsworth had not watched Netflix’s The Witcher adaptation or read the original book series before being cast as Geralt of Rivia.
The actor admitted he hadn’t seen the show or read the books prior to being cast, but was a Witcher fan from playing the video game.
Hemsworth was first announced to be joining the cast for the fourth season of The Witcher in 2022, when former Geralt actor Henry Cavill announced he was “laying down [his] medallion and [his] swords”.
During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark earlier this week, Hemsworth was asked about his familiarity with the series.
