Season 4 of Netflix’s hit series The Witcher will soon kick off production, and three actors have just been added to its cast. Sharlto Copley, James Purefoy, and Danny Woodburn will join the new leading man Liam Hemsworth when Witcher returns for its fourth season.

Hemsworth will replace Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia when The Witcher comes back for Season 4, which will see Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri traversing the war-ravaged continent and coming face to face with its many demons apart from each other.

Copley joined The Witcher as the infamous bounty hunter Leo Bonhart. He’s best known as the star of the sci-fi film District 9, and his most recent credits include Boy Kills World and Monkey Man. On the TV side, he led the superhero series Powers and played a supporting role in Netflix’s Russian Doll.

Purefoy joins him as Skellen, a high-ranking spy and court advisor to Emhyr. He’s best known as the star of the HBO historical drama Rome and already has several collaborations with Netflix under his belt, including Altered Carbon and S-x Education.

Woodburn will play Zoltan, a fan-favorite dwarf character, previously featured in The Witcher novels and video games. He rose to prominence while playing Mickey Abbott on Seinfeld, and now has around 100 credits to his name, including roles in Charmed and Bones.
