Start on Netflix: When is The Witcher season 4 coming?

Netflix has already ordered season 4 and even season 5. According to a report by the usually reliable fan site Redanian Intelligence, production was originally scheduled to begin in September 2023. However, this was no longer possible due to the double strike in Hollywood. Filming will therefore probably not begin until 2024.

Liam Hemsworth’s The Witcher debut will therefore be quite a while in coming. We shouldn’t expect a Netflix launch of season 4 before 2025. Fortunately, Netflix already has a replacement waiting in the wings to shorten the wait.

A prequel mini-series about the gang of rats introduced at the end of season 3 is expected to be launched in 2024. Filming for this ended in South Africa in July 2023. In addition to the six young thieves, it will also feature action legend Dolph Lundgren as the brutal sorcerer Brehen. In addition, a new anime film awaits us at the end of 2024: The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep.

Which novel is The Witcher season 4 based on?

The Netflix series is based on the novel world of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher saga. After season 1 adapted several short stories from the anthologies The Last Wish and The Sword of Providence, the series has been dedicated to the novels of the main pentalogy series since season 2. Season 4 adapts the plot of the third volume, entitled Baptism of Fire.

There is also the possibility that season 4 could already weave parts of the plot from the follow-up volume, The Swallow Tower. For the characters Yennefer and Ciri in particular, volume 4 offers little material to fill an entire season with

Plot: What happens next in The Witcher season 4 on Netflix

Warning, spoilers: At the end of Season 3, it became clear that Geralt, Ciri (Freya Allan) and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) will have to go on separate adventures from now on, while Nilfgaard and the Kingdoms of the North remain at war after the events on Thanedd. The witcher family will not be reunited for a long time in the original either.

(Milva and Larkspur wait for the new Geralt)

The series will be split into three different storylines from season 4 onwards:

Ciri will lead a new life as a thief and member of the rat gang under the name Falka
Geralt will roam the continent in search of Ciri
Yennefer, as leader of the newly founded Lodge of Sorceresses, dedicates herself to the task of finding and killing Vilgefortz and making the continent a safe place for her foster daughter

With regard to the original, Geralt’s journey to Nilfgaard, where he suspects Ciri to be, will play a particularly important role. Now that he already has Larkspur (Joey Batey) and the archer Milva (Meng’er Zhang) at his side, he will be joined by other companions on his journey. On the one hand, there is the familiar Nilfgaardian Cahir (Eamon Farren): On the other hand, a completely new character will be the vampire Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy (or simply Regis).

The cast of The Witcher season 4 on Netflix

The central trio of characters from The Witcher will of course be back in season 4. The biggest change, however, will be the face of Geralt of Riva. He will no longer be played by Henry Cavill, but by Liam Hemsworth. The recasting will also be addressed in the plot of the next episodes. However, it is not yet known exactly how Geralt’s replacement will be explained.

Of course, some familiar faces from the huge The Witcher cast from season 3 will also be returning. The members of the fringe gang, who were briefly seen in the season 3 finale, will play a larger role:

Ben Radcliffe as Giselher
Christelle Elwin as Mistle
Fabian McCallum as Kayleigh
Aggy K. Adams as Iskra / Flame
Juliette Alexandra as Reef
Connor Crawford as Aces

In addition to numerous characters already introduced, season 4 also brings a few new characters into play. New additions include:

Sharlto Copley as Leo Bonhart – a brutal bounty hunter
Zoltan Chivay (cast not yet known) – leader of a group of dwarves
Regis (cast not yet known) – a vampire who joins Geralt
