Seasons 4 and 5 will film back-to-back and will be the final chapter in Geralt’s story. Seasons 4 and 5 will adapt the remaining of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake, which Netflix says will “offer an epic and satisfying conclusion to Netflix’s hit fantasy drama.”
Here’s The Witcher Season 4 logline: “After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out Season 3, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire and finding one another again.”
Creator, showrunner, and executive producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich expressed her excitement to adapt the remaining books.
“It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia. 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.”
Most of the Season 3 cast will return for the fourth installment, Netflix confirms.
