While an old storyteller and a young listener retell highlights of the first three seasons of The Witcher, Liam Hemsworth appears as Geralt, inserted into altered versions of familiar events. It's a fun way to have him replace Henry Cavill as if he's always been there, and a reminder of a theme central to both the books and the show. These characters are the subject of stories, songs, and gossip in their own world, all contradictory takes on an obscured truth. Later this season we glimpse a pornographic stage show featuring Yennefer of Bang-her-berg and a fake stuffed unicorn. There are a lot of versions of The Witcher saga in both our world and theirs, and the Netflix adaptation is just one among many.
When Jaskier gets around to telling this story in verse, he's going to cast someone shorter than him as Geralt for sure.
