And do nothing else

The biggest question hanging over the upcoming fourth season of Netflix's The Witcher has, for better or worse, been about casting. Liam Hemsworth has replaced former Superman Henry Cavill as monster hunter Geralt of Rivia for the show's final two seasons, and of course people want to know how well he slips into that snug leather armor. Netflix's first Season 4 tease aims to answer that question, and nothing more.

The one-minute clip slowly approaches now-Geralt from behind in a misty forest and closes in as Hemsworth looks over his shoulder to reveal that hey, he looks like Geralt! This isn't too shocking, I guess, because the people making this show have eyes and probably want some kind of visual continuity here. Of course, in this very controlled and narrow glimpse, none of his co-stars or familiar haunts are present to register any dissonance, so seeing him – and more importantly, hearing him – in actual action is where the challenge lies.

As for when we see each other more, that remains to be seen. There's still no official premiere date for Season 4, but considering how the series left Geralt in quite the bind last season, it's hard to argue with The Witcher's creative team taking their time to get our favorite mutant monster slayer's reintroduction right.
