It\u2019s a pretty major change for the series, with Hemsworth now stepping up to fill the role of Geralt of Rivia<\/a>, a part previously held by Cavill for the show\u2019s first three seasons.<\/p>\n Well, chatting to ComicBook.com<\/a>, Allen opened up about her feelings around the change, and said: \u201cHe\u2019s lovely. Really, really sweet. Really, you know, grounded person, and I was dreading it for a while, if I\u2019m honest.<\/p>\n \u201cBut now I\u2019m on it, and we have, thank God, a great director starting us off, which has made it so much fun. My storyline is just so much great stuff to play. I\u2019m actually quite happy.\u201d<\/p>\n Allen, of course, plays Ciri<\/a> in the hit fantasy series, and will be joined by Hemsworth, Anya Chalotra<\/a> and Joey Batey in the upcoming fourth season.<\/p>\n It was recently confirmed that the fifth season of The Witcher is set to be the show\u2019s last, and will be filmed back-to-back with season 4, which is now officially in production.<\/p>\n Behind-the-scenes pictures gave fans their first glimpse of Hemsworth in action \u2013 well, at least in the context of a table read, as he was seated among the cast and reading from lines in a grandiose hall.<\/p> The fourth and fifth seasons of The Witcher will adapt the remaining\u00a0Andrzej Sapkowski novels<\/a> on which the series and games are based: Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow and Lady of the Lake.<\/p>\n Of course, with such a big change with the lead character and actor, questions continue to swirl around whether or not The Witcher will confront the change head-on.<\/p>\n Well,\u00a0executive producer Tomek Bagi\u0144ski previously teased to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0season 4 would tackle the recasting of Geralt<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n He said: \u201cLauren [Schmidt Hissrich, showrunner] and her team \u2013 and there are a few really good writers returning to the writers\u2019 room for season 4 \u2013 I think they cobbled together a really nice opening which is really true to the books.\u201d<\/p>\n And there\u2019s plenty else to look forward to in season 4, with the synopsis reading:\u00a0\u201cAfter the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season 3, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri, who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire \u2014 and finding one another again.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Freya](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/Road-RageReadthrough004RT-7bd9f12-1-e1713453732757.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Freya")
