The Witcher’s First Look At New Geralt Is Good, But It’s Missing The Most Important Part
The official first look at Liam Hemsworth’s Geralt of Rivia has been revealed, but the teaser missed the most important part of the character.
Geralt’s New Team In The Witcher Season 4 Is Missing Angoulême
Angoulême Joins Geralt’s Group In The Book The Tower of the Swallow
Geralt sets out to find Ciri with the help of Jaskier and Milva, with Cahir and Regis later joining the team, as well as Angoulême.
The Witcherseason 3 was based on the novelTime of Contempt, so with that in mind, season 4 is expected to cover the bookBaptism of Fire. In it, after recovering in Brokilon, Geralt sets out to find Ciri with the help of Jaskier and Milva, an expert archer from Brokilon. The group is shadowed by Cahir, who ends up joining them after Geralt saves his life, and they are later joined by Regis, a vampire with great medical skills. In the following book, the group is joined by Angoulême, and so the team is complete.
Jaskier has been a close friend of Geralt’s sinceThe Witcherseason 1, and though they had an argument that led to them parting ways, they are together once more. Jaskier has constantly proven his loyalty to Geralt, and the witcher needs him now more than ever. Milva was introduced in season 3 and Cahir is one ofThe Witcher’s main characters, who started as a major antagonist but has now questioned his alliances, even giving Ciri the chance to kill him in season 3.
The only character missing to complete Geralt’s team is Angoulême, but the character hasn’t been announced as part of season 4.
Regis will be introduced inThe Witcherseason 4, and he will be played by Laurence Fishburne. The only character missing to complete Geralt’s team is Angoulême, but the character hasn’t been announced as part of season 4. Although it makes sense as Angoulême appears in the book that followsBaptism of Fire,The Witcheris ending with its fifth season, thus not leaving enough time for Angoulême’s proper introduction and role.
The Witcher Ending With Season 5 Is A Problem For Angoulême (& Ciri’s Rescue)
The Witcher Season 5 Is At Risk Of Rushing Everything
Angoulême is an important member of Geralt’s team, being the illegitimate child of a Cintran noblewoman and who had a tough childhood that led her to join the Nightingale gang.
The Witcherwill end with its fifth season, which already brings various issues as the show has one more book that won’t be covered in a sixth season (The Lady of the Lake). As this novel gives closure to Ciri, Geralt, and Yennefer,The Witcherseason 5 will have to find a way to cover two novelsin order to bring proper closure to its main characters. Angoulême is an important member of Geralt’s team, being the illegitimate child of a Cintran noblewoman and who had a tough childhood that led her to join the Nightingale gang, a group known for their cruelty.
Angoulême’s possible absence in season 4 means thatThe Witcher’s final season will either rush through her story or won’t give her the importance she deserves.
After joining Geralt and the rest,Angoulême was a key member in their search for Ciri and her rescue, especially during the attack on Stygga Castle, where they faced various enemies, including Leo Bonhart. Angoulême’s possible absence in season 4 means thatThe Witcher’s final season will either rush through her story or won’t give her the importance she deserves, or she will be left out completely, giving her role in Ciri’s rescue to someone else.
