'The Witcher': The fourth season brings an unexpected character from the video game

Netflix continues to bet on The Witcher with its fourth and final season of the adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's successful saga. After Henry Cavill's departure and Liam Hemsworth's arrival as Geralt of Rivia, fans are eager to see if the series manages to redeem itself after the criticism.

Now, the news of a new character from the video games generates more expectations: Roderick de Wett, who will make his appearance in this final season. The character, who was already in The Witcher (2007) with a minor role, will be played by actor Jack Myers.

Who is Roderick de Wett?

Roderick de Wett is a character who, although he didn't have a significant role in the The Witcher video game, is related to the Wett family. He is a relative of Joachim de Wett, who was part of a conspiracy to overthrow Emhyr var Emreis, the emperor of Nilfgaard. While the Netflix series is based on the books, this character will be an adaptation created by CD Projekt.

What changes can we expect in the Netflix series?

In the series, Roderick de Wett could have a different role than in the video games. He is likely to be given a more conflicting or annoying role, similar to what he had in the games. In The Witcher, Roderick is part of the Order of the Flaming Rose, a group that brought trouble for Geralt of Rivia.

The fourth season and fans' expectations

The fourth season of The Witcher will arrive this year, although the exact date is still unknown. This cycle will mark the end of the adaptation for the streaming platform. Followers of the saga expect a season that manages to redeem the series and restore the lost shine after the controversies.

With Henry Cavill's departure and Liam Hemsworth's incorporation as the new Geralt, everyone is watching how the transition will be handled in this final season.
