Despite the hurdle of the recast, the pressure on “The Witcher” season 4 is lessened somewhat by the fact that season 3 was, well, pretty bad. A sort-of reboot with a “new vision for Geralt” (as Bagiński put it) might be exactly what the doctor ordered. And Hemsworth has some experience bringing a show back from disaster; he starred in “Most Dangerous Game,” which debuted on the doomed platform Quibi but ended up getting rescued for a second season by the Roku Channel. (Admittedly, the show was later jettisoned from the Roku Channel as well.)
Also easing the transition is the fact that “The Witcher” will no longer be primarily focused on Geralt but on his adopted daughter Ciri, played by Freya Allan. The show was never really completely centered on Geralt to begin with, instead splitting its narrative three ways between Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) as their paths cross and diverge throughout the years. Nonetheless, a shift in protagonist is an interesting way to shake things up.
