Henry Cavill’s departure from the acclaimed series The Witcher has sent shockwaves through its fanbase, raising questions about the future trajectory of the Netflix fantasy show. As we anticipate the arrival of Season 4, here’s everything you need to know, including potential release dates, casting news, and plot developments.
Significant changes are coming to The Witcher: with Cavill stepping down from his role as Geralt of Rivia, and ongoing labor strikes impacting the entertainment industry, fans are left wondering how these shifts will affect the beloved series. The conclusion of Season 3 also brought the demise of several key characters, setting the stage for a new chapter fraught with challenges.
While viewers eagerly consume the latest episodes, let’s delve into what’s known about Season 4. Note: Spoilers for Season 3 are ahead!
Has The Witcher Season 4 Been Confirmed?
Absolutely! Netflix officially renewed The Witcher for a fourth season back in October 2022, even prior to the airing of Season 3. In a surprising move, the platform has also confirmed a fifth season.
Although it’s common for Netflix to evaluate a show’s performance before ordering further seasons, established franchises like The Witcher, which is based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s iconic novels, are treated differently.
Therefore, fans should rest easy, knowing that there’s plenty more thrilling adventures on the horizon.
When Can We Expect The Witcher Season 4 to Release?
As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Season 4, and it could be some time before we see new episodes.
Nonetheless, production for the upcoming season is actively underway, with leaked images circulating online and brief teasers giving us a glimpse of Liam Hemsworth stepping into the role of Geralt.
Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.

Cavill remarked on his departure via Instagram, stating: “This journey has been filled with monsters and adventures, and I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4. In my absence, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf.”
Hemsworth has reciprocated this enthusiasm, expressing his fanhood for Cavill and eagerness to bring new dimensions to Geralt’s character as he steps into the role.
What Can We Expect from the Plot of The Witcher Season 4?
While Netflix has remained tight-lipped about specific plot details for Season 4, we can make informed predictions.
The climactic events of Season 3 saw Ciri joining forces with The Rats, a group of young rogues known for their exploits. As a spinoff series featuring The Rats is on the way, their presence will likely be expanded in the upcoming season.
Following the narrative arc of Sapkowski’s literary works, Season 4 is expected to explore events from Baptism of Fire, which continues Geralt’s heroic journey while dealing with the fallout from the Thanedd Island coup and Ciri’s entanglement with The Rats.
This narrative is poised for increased conflicts and thrilling battles, tightly woven with Geralt’s formation of a new team facing formidable challenges.
We will update this section as more specific plot announcements are released.
