Big news today in the world of Netflix’s The Witcher series, as the company announced that production has begun on Season 4 and that the show has been renewed for a fifth and final season. Seasons 4 and 5 are being filmed back-to-back and will wrap up the show.
Season 4 marks a big shift for the show, as Liam Hemsworth joins the cast as Geralt, taking over for Henry Cavill. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski’s books to an epic and satisfying conclusion. It wouldn’t be our show if we didn’t push our family of characters to their absolute limit–stay tuned to see how the story ends,” showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said.
Season 4 and 5 will cover Andrzej Sapkowski’s final three Witcher books–Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake.
