Although Netflix’s The Witcher is gaining more and more opponents, the creators do not intend to give it up. According to the latest news, further seasons of the series are planned.
The Witcher series debuted on Netflix in December 2019 and turned out to be quite a success. The first two seasons brought the series a lot of fans, but the situation has changed in the last few months. The show’s star, Henry Cavill, announced that he will leave the production with the end of season 3, while The Witcher: Bloodline was not received very well, to put it mildly. Despite recent setbacks, Redanian Intelligence confirms that Season 4 is definitely coming, and Season 5 is on the way!
It’s unclear at this time if season 5 is going to be the last, but Redanian Intelligence says Netflix certainly has it on the agenda and will be pushing for it. However, keep in mind that season 4 is still in its early stages of development, and things can still change, especially since the platform has been canceling even the most popular of its shows very often lately.
After Cavill’s departure at the end of season 3, Liam Hemsworth will take over the role of Geralt of Rivia. The actual reason for this change has not been revealed by Cavill or showrunner Lauren Hissrich, but the actor has often expressed frustration over his lack of fidelity to the source material. Hissrich, however, claims that Season 3 will reportedly be very faithful to the book A Time of Contempt , but even if it does, it’s reportedly too late for Cavill to change his mind.
