We've been waiting to see Liam Hemsworth as Geralt for what feels like years now, and finally we've got our wish.
Previously, while there's been The Witcher teasers from cast readings, we've never seen Hemsworth in his full Geralt costume.
This new season of Netflix's The Witcher is the penultimate one, with the show destined to end after five seasons. For many fans, this is a blessing.
Yet, the recent set photo that's leaked online doesn't look as bad as we feared. In fact, we'd argue that Hemsworth looks pretty good despite our initial doubts.

Whether he'll live up to the legacy that Henry Cavill left behind remains to be seen – those are some big boots to fill. Nevertheless, initial impressions are quite positive.
"Sad thing is, I think Liam would've looked like a good Geralt from the get-go," posted one fan on Twitter. "Henry was just such a fantastic fit for the role."
Someone else commented, "He actually looks good i didn't expect that."
Have we all been playing the fool, preparing for a bad experience when none will come? The jury is still out on that. But for now, we're feeling more optimistic than we have in months about Hemsworth as the White Wolf.
Seeing as how other Witcher projects have also been scrapped by Netflix, The Witcher is set to end with Hemsworth regardless of whether he ends up outshining Cavill or not.
Fortunately, we at least have CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 4 to get us over any grief we may end up feeling.
All that's left is for Hemsworth to do his thing and ensure The Witcher ends on a high note despite all its ups and downs since the first season aired.
Look at us all joining in with the cries of "Come on, Liam!!! You look awesome! Smash it, man!!!"
