Alexander Dreymon Rumored to Join The Witcher Season 4: What We Know So Far**
The Continent is stirring once again, and fans are buzzing over rumors that The Last Kingdom star Alexander Dreymon could be making his way to Netflix’s The Witcher in Season 4, set for release in late 2025. With Liam Hemsworth taking over as Geralt of Rivia, the fourth season already promises a fresh chapter—and if Dreymon joins the cast, the excitement could hit new heights.
While Netflix hasn’t confirmed Dreymon’s involvement, the speculation is fueled by fan enthusiasm and his impressive fantasy credentials. Dreymon, of course, is best known for playing Uhtred of Bebbanburg—a battle-scarred Saxon warrior with a destiny as rich and complex as Geralt’s. The transition from sword-wielding Saxon to brooding witcher (or any number of gritty Continent dwellers) seems not only plausible but pretty perfect.
Alexander Dreymon brings more than just a chiseled jawline to the fantasy genre. Fluent in multiple languages and trained at the Drama Centre London, he brings a mix of intensity and authenticity to his roles. His portrayal of Uhtred blended physical power, moral complexity, and genuine heart—qualities that would make him a valuable addition to the Witcher universe, whether as a rival, ally, or something more ambiguous.
Many fans have taken to Reddit and Twitter to share their thoughts. One Reddit user posted, “Dreymon would’ve been an awesome Geralt,” sparking a thread filled with support, clips, and fan art. While Hemsworth is officially donning the medallion, Dreymon’s name keeps popping up as a dream cast for other major roles—possibly a new witcher, a mysterious mage, or even one of the upcoming villains.
The confirmed cast for Season 4 already includes some heavy hitters. Laurence Fishburne is stepping in as the vampire Regis, while Sharlto Copley, James Purefoy, and Danny Woodburn join as Bonhart, Skellen, and Zoltan respectively. Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra, and Joey Batey are all returning, continuing their core arcs as Ciri, Yennefer, and Jaskier. But with Baptism of Fire as the source material for Season 4, there are still plenty of characters yet to be revealed—and fans are hoping Dreymon might fill one of those roles.
At this point, we’re still in the realm of speculation. No official word has come from Netflix or Dreymon himself. That said, the fact that his name is even being tossed around by the fan community speaks volumes. His reputation as a leading man in medieval dramas is rock solid, and his star power could help balance the new dynamic brought on by Hemsworth’s debut as Geralt.
Even if Dreymon doesn’t appear in Season 4, the discussion around him highlights a broader truth: The Witcher fandom is deeply engaged and eager to see strong, character-driven casting. Bringing in seasoned actors with proven track records in fantasy can only benefit a series that’s aiming to evolve and re-energize after a major recast.
So, will we see Alexander Dreymon trading Bebbanburg for Kaer Morhen? Time will tell. With Season 4’s release set for late 2025, we can expect teaser trailers and official casting news in the coming months. Until then, we’re keeping our swords sharp, our potions stocked—and our fingers crossed.
