It’s official: Netflix’s sequence primarily based on The Witcher has been renewed for a fifth and remaining season. The fourth season is at present in manufacturing and each seasons shall be shot back-to-back. Get able to bid the Continent farewell, of us.
As a part of the announcement, Netflix revealed a peek behind the scenes on the desk learn for the fourth season. In it, you may see Jaskier’s actor, Joey Batey, treating the forged and crew to a track, in addition to Batey, Liam Hemsworth, and Anya Chalotra (who performs Yennefer) being all chummy with each other.
It feels prefer it’s taken a very long time to get right here. We’ve identified that Liam Hemsworth could be taking on as Geralt of Rivia after Henry Cavill’s departure since 2022. Even then, Cavill’s remaining flip as Geralt wouldn’t come until the summer time of 2023, at which level Netflix additionally break up the season into two components to stretch issues out a bit extra. Cavill, who was set to go away the present on the conclusion of the third season, was believed to be headed again to DC to renew taking part in Superman earlier than that cinematic universe received blown up.
Within the meantime, The Witcher has been beefing up its forged because the present prepares to adapt the ultimate few books of Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy sequence: Baptism of Hearth, The Tower of the Swallow, and Girl of the Lake. This contains the addition of The Matrix’s Laurence Fishburne as Regis, a fan-favorite character and vampire who options prominently close to the top of the books, in addition to in The Witcher 3’s beloved Blood and Wine enlargement. Sharlto Copley has additionally joined the forged, and Danny Woodburn shall be portraying Zoltan, a dwarf who’s fairly near Geralt all through the sequence.
Regardless of the information, Netflix hasn’t mentioned when to anticipate both of the ultimate two seasons of The Witcher. I’d anticipate it to be some time, particularly as they’re taking pictures back-to-back, so your greatest guess at getting extra Witcher as of late could be to start out taking part in by means of the video games. On that finish, CD Projekt Pink, the builders who’ve helmed the sequence’ online game variations, are engaged on new installments within the close to future, together with a remake and a continuation of the trilogy that was capped off with The Witcher 3 again in 2015.
