The fourth season of Netflix’s The Witcher may draw inspiration from video games, according to reports.
In the upcoming series, Liam Hemsworth will replace Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, with Freya Allan reprising her role as Ciri.
The fantasy series follows monster hunter Geralt as he continues his quest with his surrogate daughter Ciri, powerful sorceress Yennefer (Anya Chalotra), and loyal bard Jaskier (Joey Batey).
While details of the new season have been kept under wraps, with a first look at The Hunger Games star Liam in his new role still to come, rumours are swirling about the characters’ outfits, which are said to incorporate more elements from the video games.
According to Redanian Intelligence, Geralt’s new outfit is similar to his character’s black leather jacket from The Witcher 3’s Grandmaster Wolven armour.
It has ‘fewer accessories’, and Liam ‘looks good’ in Geralt’s signature white wig and stubble.
Meanwhile, Ciri’s appearance differs slightly from the books, reportedly ‘less colourful’, but similar to her base outfit in The Witcher 3, with ‘fewer accessories’.
It is unclear why Superman actor Henry, who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Natalie Viscuso, left the series, but Liam is reportedly’very excited’.
‘The big thing I can share is that in season four our world grows even more. So we begin to explore new parts of the Continent that will be familiar to the fans, but that we haven’t yet seen in our series,’ locations manager and production designer Andrew Laws teased to Metro.co.uk last year, ahead of the release of the second half of the third season.
‘So we’re exploring different location opportunities, both in the UK and outside the UK for different parts of the stories. We do know what our season is at this point. We do have scripts, so we are still advancing with what we’re doing in terms of pre-concepting locations and concepts for sets, etc.’
He continued: ‘So it’s a very exciting season. Liam’s been down to the studio, we’ve walked him through preliminary concept ideas for things. He’s very excited. He’s super enthusiastic. I think it’s gonna be a really great evolution for the show.’
‘I’ve met Liam briefly and he is six foot four and another beautiful specimen for a costume designer to showcase, so I’m very lucky. It’s very exciting as well because he’s going to bring something special,’ costume designer Lucinda Wright added.
The Witcher is available to watch on Netflix.
