“The Witcher” will conclude with Season 5. Netflix announced this while stating that Season 4 is currently being made.
The upcoming season, which does not have a premiere date yet, will be the first time Liam Hemsworth plays the lead character, Geralt of Rivia, a role originally portrayed by Henry Cavill. The streaming service mentioned that this final season will “bring this epic show to a fitting conclusion. See you on The Continent.”
A video was posted featuring a table read with cast members Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan, Joey Batey, Mimî M. Khayisa, and Hemsworth. While no details from the upcoming two seasons have been disclosed, the video shows Chalotra grabbing Allan’s arm and giving her an emotional look. In the series, the two play the surrogate mother-daughter duo Yennefer and Ciri. The clip also includes a new song from Jaskier the bard (Batey). Watch it above.
It's logical for “The Witcher” to end with Season 5 as there are five main novels in the “Witcher” saga. The main books in the story are “Blood of Elves,” “Time of Contempt,” “Baptism of Fire,” “The Tower of the Swallow” and “The Lady of the Lake.” Though the first season of the Netflix series began with the short story collections “The Last Wish” and “Sword of Destiny,” it has mainly followed the main novels as the story has progressed.
“The Witcher” first premiered on Netflix in 2019 and has become one of the most important properties for the streaming giant. Since then, the series has led to a spinoff miniseries and an animated movie, as well as an upcoming second animated movie and a family-friendly show.
Cavill originally played the role from 2019 to 2023. In October of 2022, the star announced he was moving away from the Netflix series and was giving the role to Hemsworth.
