Each witcher prospect had to go through the Trials , a serial publication of processes through which they were mutate thanks to deception , alchemy , and mutagens . The process was extremely unspeakable and many view did n’t endure , but those who did were granted the powers and enhancements of witchers .

Geralt could be brought back through legerdemain but with a different physical appearance , again either for protection or for some other reason . This would add some conflict to his relationship with Ciri , as to her , he would be dead , and having him deliver with a new face would be perplexing and shocking for the young princess .

The bard is known for his sentience of humor and for teasing his witcher Quaker at any pass chance , so of course he would have something to say if he show up front completely different .
1The Witcher Season 4 Will Ignore Henry Cavill’s Exit
Of naturally , it ’s also possible thatThe Witcherwon’t even speak its Geralt recast and will move on as if nothing happened . Geralt is not the first theatrical role to be recast inThe Witcher , as Rience perplex a raw actor in season 3 , but Rience is n’t the show ’s claim character and can get away without anyone address his different feeling . However , and as mentioned above , there ’s a lot going on in the universe ofThe Witcherthat Geralt ’s Modern face can be ignored to focus on the event happening around him . In any case , whatever excuse or reasonThe Witchergives for Geralt ’s new physical appearance wo n’t be win over enough , and it ’s to be seen how the audience will welcome Liam Hemsworth ’s carrying out as Geralt of Rivia .
