Fans of the cult series The Witcher can rejoice: season 4 is slowly approaching, and details are starting to emerge about its release. This new chapter will mark an important turning point, with Liam Hemsworth taking over from Henry Cavill in the iconic role of Geralt of Rivia. While the fifth season will bring this fantasy epic to a close, the fourth promises to lay captivating new foundations.
A release planned between 2024 and 2025
Based on a recent update listed by the Writers Guild of America (WGA), season 4 should arrive in a broadcast window between 2024 and 2025. This corresponds to the television period of September 2024 to August 2025, suggesting a potential broadcast in late spring or early summer 2025.
At the same time, it is already announced that the fifth and final season of the series will follow quickly, with a release planned between 2025 et 2026. These deadlines show that Netflix seems to want to offer a fluid and rapid conclusion to the adaptation of the universe created by Andrzej Sapkowski.
Release date clues
To better understand the schedule for season 4, just look at previous productions. Season 3, for example, was filmed from April to September 2022, for a first broadcast nine months later, in June 2023. If season 4 follows a similar timeline, with filming completed in October 2024, we can hope a diffusion around July 2025.
This hypothesis is reinforced by the statements of Liam Hemsworth, who recently confided that he would take a four month break after season 4 before returning for eight months of filming for season 5. This information suggests that final production will start around March 2025, with filming concluding in the fall of the same year.
Liam Hemsworth, an expected change
Henry Cavill’s replacement with Liam Hemsworth has been a topic of intense discussion among fans. If some remain skeptical, others see it as an opportunity to rediscover Geralt from a new angle. This casting change could offer a new dynamic to the series, while retaining its essence and captivating storylines.
For fans, these production delays are the ideal opportunity to dive back into the world of The Witcherwhether through livresgames or even a marathon of previous seasons. Expectations are high, but Netflix seems willing to take the time necessary to ensure a impeccable quality.
A conclusion that promises
With a fourth season expected for summer 2025 and a fifth season potentially broadcast from 2026, The Witcher is about to conclude its epic in a grandiose manner. The rich and complex world of Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer will continue to captivate viewers, whether they are long-time fans or new to this fascinating universe.
