Netflix Witcher promises a 'lore accurate' Geralt actor swap, and it may have to do with Ciri's dimension hopping

The transition from Henry Cavill to Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia for season 4 of Netflix's The Witcher will be a tough landing to stick, but executive producers Steve Gaub and Tomek Baginski are full of confidence, with Baginski telling Yahoo News that he thinks they've incorporated the swap into the story in a way that will be "very, very close to the meta ideas which are deeply embedded in the books, especially in book five."

That reference may well be to Ciri's dimension-hopping powers, which could be used to account for why Geralt looks a bit different. The fifth book in the Witcher series is The Lady of the Lake, which includes a cross-dimensional journey to a world of Arthurian legend.
