Just yesterday, Netflix unleashed The Witcher Season 4, thrusting Liam Hemsworth’s Geralt back into the spotlight amid a war-torn Continent. But the real buzz? Season 5—the grand finale everyone’s whispering about.
If you’re knee-deep in monster hunts and destiny twists right now, you’re probably wondering: does Geralt’s story wrap up next year? Spoiler: yes, it’s 100% happening. Here’s everything you need to know about The Witcher Season 4.
Season 5 Is Locked In: Netflix’s Official Word
Forget the rumors—Netflix greenlit Seasons 4 and 5 back in April 2024, straight from their big announcement. Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich spilled that they’ve mapped out a proper ending, no loose ends or cliffhanger cop-outs.
Why the rush to confirm? After Henry Cavill bowed out post-Season 3, fans freaked. But Liam stepped up, Season 4 dropped fire (reviews call it “sharper and bolder”), and now S5 seals the deal as the absolute last ride.
Bottom line: It’s not just happening—it’s the epic closer fans deserve.
Release Date: Mark Your Calendars for Late 2026
The release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but you can expect it sometime in late 2026, likely around fall or winter. Filming began in March 2025 and wrapped up with the cast celebrating a wrap party in late September, meaning production probably finished by October. Considering that Season 4 took about 18 months from the start of filming to its October 2025 premiere, and given how post-production for large-scale fantasy shows usually takes around 12 to 18 months due to the heavy visual effects, a late 2026 release looks like the most realistic window.
