Netflix has renewed The Witcher for a fifth season, but the company says that
will bring the series to an end. The final season will be shot back-to-back
with the fourth season, which has just started production. The two seasons
will cover the events of the last three books in the series: Baptism of Fire,
The Tower of the Swallow and Lady of the Lake. The show is a direct
adaptation of Andrzej SapkowskiΓÇÖs novels, but it does occasionally take
inspiration from CD Projekt Red's game adaptations (and vice versa).

The fourth season will mark a significant change for The Witcher, as Liam
Hemsworth is replacing Henry Cavill in the lead role. This time around,
Geralt of Rivia will find a new family in the Hanza, who will help him track
down Yennefer and Ciri after the trio is separated. New cast members who are
joining for the fourth season include Laurence Fishburne, Sharlto Copley and
James Purefoy.
