Netflix has dropped a ton of exciting details for its upcoming fantasy epic series, so keep reading for the release date, story, cast list, and more. We already know it's the debut of Liam Hemsworth, who replaces former series lead Henry Cavill as monster hunter Geralt of Rivia. But did you know The Witcher Season 4 is the penultimate season? Or that it was shot virtually back to back with The Witcher Season 5? Liam Hemsworth stars in The Witcher Season 4 Liam Hemsworth stars in The Witcher Season 4 Netflix We've got plenty of fresh info about the eagerly awaited show, so scroll down for everything we know. The Witcher Season 4 Story The Witcher season 4 will incorporate storylines from the three remaining novels in The Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski's series. These are Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake. Baptism of Fire sees Geralt caught between two warring clans, and Ciri join a group of thieves called The Rats. "It wouldn't be our show if we didn't push our family of characters to their absolute limit," creator and showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich tells Netflix. "Stay tuned to see how the story ends." The Witcher Season 4 Synopsis "After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season three, 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. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire – and finding one another again," per Netflix's official synopsis. What Happened in The Witcher Season 3 Ending? The Witcher Season 3 ends with Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer all separated after being defeated by the mage Vilgefortz. Geralt now sets off to save Ciri, alongside Jaskier and Milva. However, they're going after a decoy. The real joined the group of young criminals known as The Rats (there are rumours of a spinoff show). Yennefer, meanwhile, replaces head sorceress Tissia as the new leader of Aretuza. The Witcher Season 4 Release Date The Witcher Season 4 will release in 2025, as confirmed by Netflix. However, an exact date for the show has yet to be announced. Filming has already wrapped, which is a good sign we'll see it sooner rather than later. "So we've been shooting now about eight months," Hemsworth said in an interview on Live With Kelly and Mark. "Three more weeks and then we break for about four months and then come back next year and do another eight months," Hemsworth added, referring to The Witcher Season 5. Season 4 is being shot relatively back-to-back (albeit with a short break in between) with the fifth and final season. After that, there's no more source material from Sapkowski. The Witcher Season 4 Cast The Witcher Season 4 cast features both new characters and returning favourites, as confirmed by Netflix. The list of departure include Geralt (Henry Cavill), Tissaia (MyAnna Buring), Lydia (Aisha Fabienne Ross), Filavandrel (Tom Canton), Artorius (Terence Maynard), Gallatin (Robbie Amell), and Rience (Sam Woolf), and Vesemir (Kim Bodnia). The reasons for their omission range from scheduling conflicts and creative choices to death (of the character, not the actor). Here's the complete list of who you'll see in The Witcher Season 4. • Geralt - Liam Hemsworth • Ciri - Freya Allan • Yennefer - Anya Chalotra • Jaskier - Joey Batey • Regis - Laurence Fishburne • Sharlto Copley - Leo Bonhart • James Purefoy - Skellan • Danny Woodburn - Zoltan • Fringilla - Mimi Ndiweni • Cahir - Eamon Farren • Francesca - Mecia Simson • Triss - Anna Shaffer • Dara - Wilson Mbomio • Istredd - Royce Pierreson • Sabrina Glevissig - Therica Wilson-Read • Vilgefortz - Mahesh Jadu • Stregobor - Lars Mikkelsen • Dijkstra - Graham McTavish • Phillipa - Cassie Clare • Nilfgaardian Emperor Emhyr - Bart Edwards • Radovid - Hugh Skinner • Milva - Meng'er Zhang • Giselher - Ben Radcliffe • Mistle - Christelle Elwin • Kayleigh - Fabian McCallum • Iskra - Aggy K. Adams • Reef - Juliette Alexandra • Asse - Connor Crawford Is Liam Hemsworth in The Witcher Season 4? Yes, Liam Hemsworth is the new lead in The Witcher Season 4. Hemsworth posted his delight in a statement. "As a Witcher fan, I'm over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia," he said in a statement. "Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I'm honored that he's handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf's blades for the next chapter of his adventure. Henry, I've been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I'm truly excited to be stepping into The Witcherworld." Is Henry Cavill in The Witcher Season 4? No, Henry Cavill is not in The Witcher Season 4. That's because Liam Hemsworth is replacing him. Cavill responded to the announcement on Instagram, writing: "My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4." "In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam's take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men. Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him — enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find."

Intertidal Music Festival returns to Port Edward, B.C. this July after six-year hiatus
The formerly popular Intertidal Music Festival is back in Port Edward for the first time since 2018 and will run from July 18 to 20. 'Hosted at the North Pacific Cannery – a National Historic Site and the last remaining intact salmon cannery on the Pacific Coast – the festival will take place in a setting rich in history,' said Port Edward mayor Knut Bjorndal. Built in 1889, the cannery still contains much of its original equipment, offering an authentic historical backdrop for the event. 'The event is expected to draw visitors from across the Northwest, providing a valuable opportunity to showcase the distinct character and beauty of both Port Edward and Prince Rupert,' said the mayor. The fest will showcase more than 20 bands and artists of various genres from the Pacific Northwest and beyond on three vibrant stages. This includes the renowned Canadian rock band 'Current Swell', the dynamic 'Spiritual Warriors', 'The Rats', and 'Triple Bypass'. Additional performers include 'Infectious', 'Sustain', 'Kate Pike and the Loose Boots', 'Somber Seas', 'Men Who Listen', 'The Swells', 'JJ Sway', 'Rabbit Soup', and many more. Bjorndal says that the Port Edward Historical Society and the District of Port Edward are thrilled to support the efforts of Tourism Prince Rupert in organizing the event. 'The intertidal Music festival highlights the culture and natural richness of the region and offers increased exposure to everything it has to offer. We hope to see this continue as an annual tradition.'

A LEAVING CERTIFICATE student who died after her car hit a wall and entered the river in South Tipperary was voted the 'smiliest person' in her year and had already bought her dress for her Debs ball, her requiem mass has heard. Brónagh English died when her car left the left the road at Kilaldry Bridge in Kilmoyler, Cahir and entered the River Aherlow last Thursday at around 10pm. Her body was recovered by a Garda sub aqua team last Friday morning. Brónagh's coffin was brought in to St John the Baptist Church in Powerstown, Clonmel for her requiem mass today to the sound of a soloist singing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' and 'Smile' Her father Michael said that when Brónagh left the house last Thursday evening she told her mother Danielle of her plan to return home in about twenty minutes. 'And that was the end of our Bro. She was a wonderful child. We loved her to pieces as parents. Myself and Danielle noticed something special about her in the early days. We thought there was something wrong with her as she was far too good.' 'We never had terrible twos. We thought 'she is going to be a terrible teenager surely' and then she got to 13 or 14 and we thought maybe she was a late developer in teens and still no problem.' 'She had something. She lived in the now. She lived in the present. She was fun right now. She was in the moment.' Michael said six months ago he and Danielle read a statistic that by the time your child is 18, you will have spent 90 percent of the time you will ever have with them. 'The point of it was that we only had 10 percent more physical team with Brónagh. We were devastated on that day when we read that stat that after 18 kids move on. We would love to have that time back.' Advertisement Michael thanked Brónagh's close knit group of friends, who are nicknamed 'The Rats,' for all the joy they had brought to their home over the years. He was joined on the altar by his wife Danielle who thanked the emergency services for being 'beyond amazing' in the aftermath of the accident. Brónagh's sister Mia said that her sibling was her best friend. 'Brónagh was so funny with a great imagination. Chinese on a Friday with some weird food combinations. Having Brónagh my sister was really the dream. We will always carry you with us day by day and mile by mile.' Symbols of her life brought to the altar included photographs of Brónagh and her beloved friends and family, her dancing shoes representing her flair for ballroom dancing, a fishing rod to represent a family holiday where she caught 13 fish in the Amazon Rainforest, and her Rockwell College school jumper. Nine priests celebrated the mass. These included priests from Rockwell College and her grand uncle Fr Michael English. Chief celebrant at the mass Fr Peter Ahearne thanked Taoiseach Micheal Martin for sending an aide de camp to represent him at the mass. He said that Brónagh 'radiated friendship' and lit up every room she entered. 'Brónagh for her family was a sacred gift. She radiated joy. Brónagh lived a full life. She was involved in sport, music and dancing. She gave her time to her friends,' said Ahearne. Her two brothers Mikey and David were among those who recited Prayers of the Faithful. Brónagh is survived by her parents Michael and Danielle, her siblings Mia, Mikey and David, her grandparents Greta and Donnie Ormonde and Carmel English, her aunts and uncles, her '21 adored first cousins', extended family and a wide circle of friends. She was recently predeceased by her grandfather John English. Brónagh lay in repose at her family home in Anner Park House, Waterford Road in Clonmel, Co Tipperary yesterday before being brought to the church for noon requiem mass today. At the end of the mass the coffin was taken from the church to the adjoining cemetery for burial.
